Modulation of gut microbiota by rice starch enzymatically modified using amylosucrase from Deinococcus geothermalis.

ABSTRACT: Amylosucrase can increase the amount of resistant starch (RS) in starch by transferring glucose from sucrose to amylopectin. Here, rice starch was modified using amylosucrase from Deinococcus geothermalis (DgAS). DgAS-modified rice starch (DMRS) increased the side-chain length of amylopectin and appeared in the form of B-type crystals. In vitro digestion analyses revealed that DMRS had a higher RS contents and lower digestion rate than native rice starch. When high-fat diet (HFD)-induced C57BL/6 mice were orally administered DMRS, body weight and white fat tissues of DMRS-fed HFD mice were not significantly different. However, serum leptin and glucose levels were significantly decreased and serum glucagon like peptide-1was increased in these mice. The cecal microbiome in DMRS-fed HF
