Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbohydrates are probably consumed by humans the most in each meal every day. They are digested, absorbed and converted into blood sugar to provide energy, and even those that are undigested have a very important impact on colon health and other aspects of the human body.
In this Special Issue, we invite papers on the following aspects of carbohydrate digestion.- Differences in digestion characteristics depending on the cooking or processing of carbohydrates.
- The comparison of the in vivo and in vitro digestion characteristics of carbohydrate foods.
- The effect of the type of carbohydrates consumed on the colonic microbial flora.
- The blood sugar control mechanism according to the digestion characteristics of carbohydrates.
- The comparison of glycemic indexes (GIs) depending on the cooking and processing characteristics of carbohydrate foods.
- The development of carbohydrate materials that can lower the GI.
