A New Resistant Starch Material Obtained from Faba Beans (<i>Vicia faba</i> L. Creole): Potential Modulation of the Diabetic Condition in Diabetic Wistar Rat Model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Resistant starch, and specially retrograded starches (RS), have been suggested as useful biological molecules to improve the glucose management in diabetic conditions. However, the influence of the botanical origin in the RS biological capacities make necessary its evaluation, where RS from legumes have been paid less attention compared to other sources as cereals.

Objectives

A RS product obtained from creole Faba beans (Vicia faba L. creole), was evaluated for the first time as a material capable of improving glucose homeostasis in diabetic conditions.

Methods

The RS ingredient investigated (with a reduced digestibility of 50%) was tested in a Wistar rat model with induced diabetes, fed with a 15 or 30% replacement of RS ingredient in the diet. Dive
