Abstract
Highland barley (HB) endosperm with an amylose content of 0-10 % is called waxy HB (WHB). WHB is a naturally slow-digesting grain, and the interaction between its endogenous non-starch composition and the WHB starch (WHBS) has an important effect on starch digestion. This paper focuses on the mechanisms by which the components of β-glucan, proteins and lipids affect the molecular, granular, crystalline structure and digestive properties of WHBS. After eliminating the main nutrients except for starch, the estimated glycemic index (eGI) of the samples rose from 62.56 % to 92.93 %, and the rapidly digested starch content increased from 60.81 % to 98.56 %, respectively. The resistant starch (RS) content, in contrast, dropped from 38.61 % to 0.13 %. Comparatively to lipids, β-glucan and protein contributed more to the rise in eGI and decline in RS content. The crystalline characteristics of starch were enhanced in the decomposed samples. The samples' gelatinization properties improved, as did the order of the starch molecules. Protein and β-glucan form a dense matrix on the surface of WHBS particles to inhibit WHBS digestion. In summary, this study revealed the mechanism influencing the digestibility of WHBS from the perspective of endogenous non-starch composition and provided a theoretical basis to develop slow-digesting foods.
