Abstract

The least composition of starch but the great benefit on health is called “resistant starch” which can be used as prebiotics (nutrition) for the probiotics (healthy or live bacteria). This article focuses on the types, sources, digestion and absorption, fermentation, benefits and the scientific research of resistant starch in both human and animal model to confirm its health promotion especially at the colon of gastrointestinal tract. Keywords: starch, resistant starch, prebiotics, probiotics
