Summary Resistant starch (RS) refers to the portion of starch and starch
products that resist digestion as they pass through the gastrointestinal tract.
RS is an extremely broad and diverse range of materials and a number of
different types exist (RS1–4). At present, these are mostly defined according to
physical and chemical characteristics. RS may be categorised as a type of
dietary fibre, as d... hiện toàn bộ
Summary The health benefits of including sufficient dietary fibre in the diet
have been well described and have formed the basis of dietary recommendations
around the world. However, dietary fibre is a complex dietary entity, consisting
of many non‐digestible components of food. Debate surrounding the definition and
measurement of dietary fibre has resulted in inconsistencies in labelling,

AbstractThe merits of a fibre‐rich diet are well documented. Resistant starch
(RS) is a form of starch that resists digestion in the small intestine and, as
such, is classified as a type of dietary fibre. RS can be categorised as one of
five types (RS1–5), some of which occur naturally in foods such as bananas,
potatoes, grains and legumes and some of which are produced or modified
commercially, a... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractSustainable diets are proposed as a means to improve public health and
food security and to reduce the impact of the food system on the environment.
Guidance around sustainable diets includes a reduction of animal products in
order to move towards a more plant‐based diet, meaning that plant‐originated
foods are a predominant, but not the sole component of a diet. The main
principles of a s... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractPersonalised nutrition can be defined as developing unique nutrition
guidelines for each individual; precision nutrition seeks to develop effective
approaches based on the combination of an individual's genetic, environmental
and lifestyle factors. The former infers variants that underlie traits are
largely fixed (i.e. stable across time) and appeals to the notion that we are
inherently di... hiện toàn bộ
