Abstract: The present invention provides novel resistant starches, methods to make the resistant starches, and methods to use the resistant starches. These resistant starches may be used as an ingredient in a variety of foods to impart health benefits, such as: decreasing plasma insulin response; decreasing plasma glucose response; increasing colonic fermentation; decreasing the risk of colon cancer; increasing digestive health; decreasing colonic pH. The methods for making the novel modified resistant starches dramatically decrease the cost of producing them.
