[Advances on the determination of resistant starch]

The present situation and prospect of studies on resistant starch home and abroad are introduced briefly and systemically. The determination of resistant starch should reflect the real condition in humans. The optimal method in vitro may be chosen by comparing the data from the ileac effluence using ileostomy. The intention is to measure the content of resistant starch in familiar food and supply the base for the dietary intake of resistant starch in humans.
