Abstract

In vivo and in vitro digestibility of granular starches isolated from chick pea, cow pea and horse gram is described. Digestibility in vivo of these starches was lower than that of corn starch. Significant differences in the wt. and contents of small intestine and caecum and caecum pH of rats were noticeable between control (i.e. corn starch) and experimental groups. Scanning electron microscopy of the residual starch granules isolated from various organs revealed characteristic degradation patterns. In vitro digestibility using glucoamylase and salivary alpha-amylase revealed considerable differences among the 3 legume starches the changes in the granule morphology brought about by enzyme action were followed by scanning electron microscopy. Of the 3 legume starches tested chick pea starch granules appeared to be more digestible both by in vivo and in vitro systems.
