Procedure
Samples of rice were cooked by the traditional method using the White
Rice and Brown Rice functions and compared to samples of rice cooked
in the CarbReduce basket using the CarbReduce function. All tests use
tap water unless otherwise specified.
Cooked rice samples are analysed for their resistant starch by "Official
Methods of Analysis of AOAC International (2005), 18th Ed., AOAC
International, Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA, Official Method 2002.02"
and digestible starch by "Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC
International (2005), 18th ED, AOAC International, Gaithersburg, MD,
USA, Official Method 996.11 (mod.)"
Results in percent reduction of digestible starches are provided.
Conclusion
Using the CarbReduce cooking method can reduce the carbs in cooked
rice by up to 40%.
