Resistant Starch Assay Kit (Rapid) is a high-efficiency analytical solution designed for the rapid measurement of resistant starch (RS) in starches, cereals, legumes, and processed food samples.
Resistant starch is the portion of starch that escapes digestion in the small intestine and reaches the large intestine, where it is fermented by gut microbiota. Its health benefits such as improved glycemic control, enhanced satiety, and support for digestive wellness make it a key target in nutritional research and product development.
This rapid-format kit uses purified and stabilized enzymes under physiologically relevant conditions to simulate digestion in the human small intestine. It delivers accurate, reproducible results ideal for high-throughput environments and routine quality control.
