CActiStar™ 11700 resistant starch allows food processors to improve the texture, processing characteristics and health benefits of a wide range of foods and beverages.

CActiStar™ 11700 resistant starch is important as a stimulator of butyrate production and because of its potential as a prebiotic. CActistar™ 11700 resistant starch has a high level of resistant starch that is highly fermentable resulting in production of short-chain fatty acids, especially butyrate.

Functional benefits

• Less viscous than high-amylose derived products. No gelling.
• Very bland taste and smooth mouthfeel.
• Stable at low pH.
• Very fine granulometry. Availability to function as a fiber without a gritty mouthfeel.
• Low water binding capacity. Non hygroscopic.
• Stable up to 120°C depending on the application

Summary of potential health benefits

• Butyrogenicity: Butyrate acts as a nutrient of colonic cells for healthy colon maintenance and may support the immune system
• Prebiotic: CActistar™ 11700 resistant starch stimulates the growth of beneficial bifidobacteria and lactobacilli
• Dietary fiber: Dietary fiber promotes a healthy digestive system (balanced diet)
• Reduced glycemic response: Reduced blood glucose and therefore reduced insulin level, after consumption  
• Weight management: Calorie content of foods may be reduced when higher calorie ingredients are replaced by lower calorie CActistar™ 11700 resistant starch. Virtually fat-free (<1%)
