Probing the Double-Layered Cotyledon Cell Structure of Navy Beans: Barrier Effect of the Protein Matrix on In Vitro Starch Digestion

Probing the Double-Layered Cotyledon Cell Structure of Navy Beans: Barrier Effect of the Protein Matrix on In Vitro Starch Digestion

The microstructure of legumes plays a crucial role in regulating starch digestion and postprandial glycemic responses. Starch granules are double encapsulated within the outer cell wall and the inner protein matrix of legume cotyledon cells. Despite progress in understanding the role of cell walls i...
