What are the benefits of starch to people? Starch is also called starch, dough powder, water starch and so on. Starch is used in many places in life, especially in catering industry, because it can make all kinds of delicious food. Let's first understand what benefits starch has for people.

What are the benefits of starch to people? 1 replenish energy.

Starch contains three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. When the human body eats starch, it becomes glucose. When glucose combines with oxygen in the blood, it generates heat. A lot of energy our body needs comes from starch, but the amount of starch we consume every day needs to be controlled. If we eat too much, it will turn into fat. Everyone should pay special attention.

Prevention of intestinal cancer

Starch can also prevent intestinal cancer. Scientists have found that plants such as rice, noodles and soybeans contain a factor that inhibits the growth of cancer cells and can also shrink tumors. Scientists have also found that eating a lot of starchy foods is much less likely to develop intestinal cancer.

When the human body ingests a large amount of starch, intestinal bacteria will multiply in large numbers, which can increase the excretion of feces, and carcinogenic metabolites can be excreted through the large intestine. Therefore, in daily life, you can eat more corn, red beans and other foods, which has a certain anti-cancer effect.

lose weight

Starch has a certain weight loss function. In fact, starch itself is low in calories. The important thing is that it will not be digested and absorbed, and it will not add calories to the human body, but it can fill the stomach and feel full. If you want to lose weight, you can eat more in daily life.

Prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

Starch can effectively prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Experts have found that if mice are fed resistant starch feed, after a period of time, the contents of cholesterol and triglycerides will be greatly reduced, which shows that starch can regulate human blood lipids and inhibit arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.

What are the benefits of starch to people? 2 1. Starch mainly contains three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. If starch is eaten in the stomach, it will become glucose, enter the blood, combine with inhaled oxygen, and generate heat for human muscle movement and other organ activities to ensure normal life.

Starch food can also prevent intestinal cancer. Dr. Su Deng, a professor at the University of Maryland in the United States, found that rice, flour, soybeans and other leguminous plants contain a compound called IP6, which is a natural compound that can inhibit the growth of cancer cells and shrink tumors.

Animal experiments have proved that IP6 can fight against colon cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer and other tumors. Professor Bingham, a nutritionist at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom, analyzed the relationship between dietary habits and cancer incidence in 12 countries, and found that the higher the starchy food intake of a group, the lower the incidence of intestinal cancer, whether from a certain country or a certain region. Starchy foods mainly prevent intestinal cancer in two ways. First, after starch enters the intestine, intestinal bacteria will devour starch and multiply in large quantities, which will help to increase the volume and weight of feces, promote the excretion of colon contents and accelerate the excretion of carcinogenic metabolites through the large intestine.

Secondly, after starch is acted by fermenting enzymes in colon, it will produce a large number of butyrate, which can directly inhibit the production of any cells that may cause cancer in the inner wall of large intestine. Because starchy foods have the same anti-cancer effect as vegetables and fruits, relevant experts suggest that besides rice and pasta, you should also eat more corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, bananas and various beans.

2, weight loss slimming resistant starch itself contains very low calories, more importantly, it does not digest or absorb, does not increase calories to the human body, but can fill the stomach, the satiety effect is more lasting, and then it can receive the effect of dieting and slimming, so it is especially suitable for fat men and women.

Regulating glucose-tolerant starch cannot be decomposed into glucose in the small intestine, so it will not increase the blood sugar concentration in the body and has little effect on insulin secretion. It is suitable for patients with unstable blood sugar or hyperglycemia.

Prevention of Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases Foreign researchers tried to feed 40% resistant starch to mice. After a few weeks, the elevated cholesterol and triglycerides of these experimental mice decreased to normal levels. This shows that resistant starch can regulate blood lipid and prevent arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

What are the benefits of starch to people? 1. What are the functions of starch?

1, the role of starch in cooking: China has a long food culture, and people have known the characteristics of starch for a long time and applied it to cooking. Starch is one of the common auxiliary materials in cooking, and the most common starch is "thickening". Before cooking, add proper amount of starch to solidify the soup to improve the sensory quality and taste of the dishes. Starch is also widely used in soups, pickles, sauces and seasoning powder.

2. Application of modified starch in condiments: After different processes, the properties of raw starch have changed in different degrees, which can better adapt to the changes of different formulas, processing techniques and storage and transportation conditions of condiments, thus improving and improving the quality of condiments.

Because there are many kinds of condiments, the formula structure is very different, the processing technology is obviously different, and the performance requirements for modified starch are also different. Therefore, on the one hand, the application manufacturers of modified starch are required to choose modified starch appropriately according to the characteristics of different products; On the other hand, as a producer of modified starch, the production process of modified starch is adjusted according to the processing characteristics of product customers, thus improving the product quality of users.

3. The role of starch in making other foods: In addition to cooking, starch also plays a great role in various food processing. Foods with starch as ingredients or main ingredients are: all kinds of vermicelli, stuffed belly, bean jelly, rice noodles, vermicelli, ham, arhat belly and so on.

Tip: Starch is everywhere, because it provides a lot of necessary energy for human body.

Second, how to eat starch well

How to make starch delicious? Many delicious foods can be made of starch. What can starch do? How to cook a good meal? Let me introduce some delicious foods that can be made of starch.

3. What is the calorie of starch?

The application of starch is everywhere in life, so do you know what the calorie of starch is? Come with me and see how many calories starch has.

1, the calorie of starch (calculated by 100g edible part) is 366 calories (153 1KJ). The calories per 100g starch account for about 16% of the total daily calories recommended by China Nutrition Society for ordinary adults to keep healthy.

2. Starch is a nutrient stored in plants, seeds and tubers. The starch content in all kinds of plants is high, including rice 62% ~ 86%, wheat 57% ~ 75%, corn 65% ~ 72% and potato 12% ~ 14%. Starch is an important part of food, and it feels a little sweet to chew rice. This is because amylase in saliva hydrolyzes starch into disaccharide-maltose.

After food enters the gastrointestinal tract, it can also be hydrolyzed by salivary amylase secreted by the pancreas, and the formed glucose is absorbed by the small intestine wall and becomes a nutrient for human tissues. Partial hydrolysis of amylopectin can produce a mixture called dextrin. Dextrin is mainly used as food additive, glue, paste, and in the manufacture (finishing) of paper and textiles.

Tip: Different kinds of cereals contain different starch calories.
