METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF SLOWLY DIGESTIBLE CARBOHYDRATES Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A23L1/522 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: sterilised food product contains starch. The starch has amylose content in an amount of at least 60 wt %. The average starch particles size is equal to 1 - 15 mcm. At least 90 wt % of the starch particles have diameter less than 50 mcm. The indigestible starch content is equal to less than 50 wt %. The slowly digestible starch content is equal to 15 - 75 wt %. The starch composition is produced by way of starch material heating till the temperature is equal to at least 110°C and subsequent fast cooling to a temperature lower than 20°C. The average rate of cooling is equal to at least 10°C per minute. Additionally one describes a food product based on the carbohydrate composition. The carbohydrate composition contains 15-75 wt % of the said starch composition, 10-60 wt % of glucose, maltose and/or maltodextrins, 0-25 wt % of fructose, lactose and/or sucrose, 0-50 wt % of mono- and disaccharides other than glucose, fructose, maltose, lactose and sucrose, 0-30 wt % of non-amylose glucose oligomers and 0-30 wt % of non-starch fibres.

EFFECT: invention allows to produce a dietary food product efficient for fast provision of glucose to the consumer and supporting glucose stock in the blood during a prolonged period, stable during a month's storage at a temperature lower than 10°C.
