What is the difference between digestible and undigestible carbohydrates?
carbohydrate, unavailable. A general term for those carbohydrates present in foods that are not digested, and are therefore excluded from calculations of energy intake, although they may be fermented by intestinal bacteria and yield some energy. The term includes resistant starch, indigestible oligosaccharides, and the various non-starch ...
Nov 9, 2007 · An alternative to the terms ‘available’ and ‘unavailable’ today would be to describe carbohydrates either as glycaemic (that is providing carbohydrate for metabolism) or...

This dichotomy has led to the use of a number of terms to describe carbohydrate in foods, for example intrinsic and extrinsic sugars, prebiotic, resistant starch, dietary fibre, available and...

Sep 1, 1996 · There is a fundamental difference nutritionally between digestible and undigestible (‘unavailable’) carbohydrates. NSP, resistant starch (RS) and oligosaccharides are the main forms of undigestible carbohydrates. Dietary fibre is generally conceived as more or less synonymous with ‘unavailable’ carbohydrates.

This dichotomy has led to the use of a number of terms to describe carbohydrate in foods, for example intrinsic and extrinsic sugars, prebiotic, resistant starch, dietary fibre, available and unavailable carbohydrate, complex carbohydrate, glycaemic and whole grain. This paper reviews these terms and suggests that some are more useful than others.
Unavailable carbohydrate (McCance & Lawrence, I 929) as originally defined included all the polysaccharides not hydrolysed by the intestinal secretions of man. This includes pectic substances, hemicelluloses, cellulose and some reserve poly- saccharides such as inulin. In the definition used by McCance & Lawrence (1929) the non-carbohydrate ...
