Prebiotic effects of lotus seed starch-C18 fatty acid complexes: Role of structural changes during in vitro digestion and fermentation.
Despite growing interest in starch-lipid complexes as prebiotic ingredients, the impact of fatty acid (FA) unsaturation on their fermentative behavior and gut microbiota modulation remains controversial, largely due to inconsistent structural characterization across studies. Herein, lotus seed starch (LS), notable for...
