| Descripción: | Starchy ingredients are a key source of carbohydrates and have an essential role in a healthy diet. Starch amount in foodstuffs is paramount as it allows diet professionals to base their formulations on scientific data. Herein, the total (TS) and resistant starch (RS) content, in a selection of typical starchy foods available on the Costa Rican market, for both human and animal consumption, is reported. The major types of starch, including physically encapsulated starch, were determined using in vitro methods AOAC OMASM methods 996.11, 2014.10, 996.11, 2002.02 and AACC 76–13.01 and 32–40.01. Samples were collected during 5 years as part of national surveillance plans. For feedstuffs, n = 252 feed ingredients (e.g., cornmeal and wheat products), n = 103 feeds (e.g., dairy and beef cattle), and n = 150 feed ingredient samples (selected based on their usage in feed formulations) were assessed for RS. In food commodities, sample numbers ascended to n = 287 and n = 371 for TS and RS, respectively (e.g. bananas). Feed ingredients with higher TS values were cassava meal, bakery by-products, rice/broken, sweet potato, and cornmeal (93.37, 81.67, 72.33, 66.66, and 61.43 g/100 g, respectively). TS for beef and dairy cattle, pig, and calf feeds, ranged from 30.26 to 34.46 g/100 g. Plantain/green banana flour, as a feed ingredient, exhibited RS absolute and relative contributions of 37.04 g/100 g and 53.89%, respectively. Products with a higher TS content included banana flour, green plantain flour, japonica rice, and cassava flour (62.87, 63.10, 72.90, 83.37 g/100 g). The primary RS sources in the Costa Rican diet are, in absolute terms, green plantain and malanga (50.41 and 56.59 g/100 g). Depending on a person's food habits, these sources may contribute in the range of 20–30 grams of RS per day. TS and RS intake may vary considerably among ingredients, and the contribution of RS may be of nutritional importance for specific individuals. |
