INTRODUCTION
THE ARTICLE ADDRESSES THE RESISTANCE
OF (RS) AND ITS IMPACT ON THE INTESTINAL
MICROBIOTA, HIGHLIGHTING ITS
BENEFICIAL EFFECTS SUCH AS ANTIOBESITY,
REDUCTION OF INFLAMMATION AND
REGULATION OF BLOOD GLUCOSE.

RESISTANT STARCH AND

INTESTINAL
MICROBIOTA

Resistant starch is a starch that is not digested by the

small intestine but reaches the large intestine where it is
fermented by the beneficial bacteria of the intestinal
microbiota, resulting in short-chain fatty acids that are
beneficial to overall intestinal health.

RESISTANT STARCH, INTESTINAL
MICROBIOTA AND ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
RESISTANT STARCH STUDYED IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, IS
FORMED BY GLUCOSE CHAINS JOINED BY GLUCOSIDIC
BONDS. THE ARRANGEMENT AND LENGTH OF THESE LINKS
INFLUENCES THEIR STRUCTURE AND ABILITY TO RESIST
DIGESTION.
OPINION
IN CONCLUSION OUR OPINION ON THIS ARTICLE IS THAT THE
CONSUMPTION OF RESISTANT STARCH IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT SINCE IT CONTAINS SEVERAL BENEFITS, ONE OF
THESE IS THAT IT ACTS AS A PREBIOTIC, THAT IS, AS A NON-
DIGESTIBLE SUBSTRATE THAT STIMULATES THE GROWTH AND
ACTIVITY OF CERTAIN BACTERIA BENEFICIAL IN THE
INTESTINE. THESE BENEFICIAL BACTERIA CAN IMPROVE GUT
HEALTH, STRENGTHEN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND HELP
PREVENT DISEASES.
