TLDR
Digestion and absorption from the small intestine of starch and nonstarch polysaccharides (NSP) from potato cooked and treated in various ways have been studied in ileostomy subjects and in vitro studies with pancreatin demonstrated incomplete digestion of cooled potato.About:

Short chain fatty acids in human large intestine, portal, hepatic and venous blood.
TL;DR: Data indicate that substantial carbohydrate, and possibly protein, fermentation is occurring in the human large intestine, principally in the caecum and ascending colon and that the large bowel may have a greater role to play in digestion than has previously been ascribed to it.

TL;DR: The present document has been written by a group of both academic and industry experts and aims to validate and expand the original idea of the prebiotic concept, defined as the selective stimulation of growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of microbial genus(era)/species in the gut microbiota that confer(s) health benefits to the host.

Recent Advances in Animal Nutrition
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of nutrition on stress and immunity in dairy cows and discussed the potential applications of GM technology on pig performance and piglet starter feeding in a changing business environment, with special emphasis on tryptophan and valine.

Rapidly available glucose in foods: an in vitro measurement that reflects the glycemic response
TL;DR: The significance of in vitro measurements of RAG in relation to glycemic response in human studies is shown and could serve as a tool for investigating the importance of the amount, type, and form of dietary carbohydrates for health.

Simplified method for the measurement of total non-starch polysaccharides by gas-liquid chromatography of constituent sugars as alditol acetates
Hans N. Englyst,John H. Cummings +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a procedure for the measurement and characterisation of total non-starch polysaccharides in plant foods by gas-liquid chromatography of individual sugars as alditol acetates is described.

Determination of the non-starch polysaccharides in plant foods by gas-liquid chromatography of constituent sugars as alditol acetates
TL;DR: A method is reported for the measurement of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) from plant foods, which are the major components of “dietary fibre” and results for the NSP analysis of selected foods are given.

Digestion of the polysaccharides of some cereal foods in the human small intestine.
Hans N. Englyst,John H. Cummings +1 more
TL;DR: This study supports the view that human digestive enzymes do not break down dietary NSP and identifies a fraction of starch, RS, present in processed food which resists breakdown by alpha-amylase both in vitro and in the small intestine of man.

Factors affecting the rate of hydrolysis of starch in food
P Snow,Kerin O'Dea +1 more
TL;DR: Investigation of factors that influence hydrolysis rates of starch in foods suggested that amylase inhibitor activity is destroyed by passage through the roller mill, since the starch in wheat germ and standard wholemeal flour was hydrolyzed at a rate identical to white flour.
