A method of producing a granular resistant starch comprising the steps of heating a granular native starch to swell but not rupture the starch granules, debranching the starch, treating the starch to retrograde the amylose therein, optionally annealing the starch and optionally drying the product to a powder is described. Granular resistant starch produced by this method and food formulations containing the granular resistant starch are also described. |
