Potatoes from different New Zealand cultivars (Nadine, Moonlight, Red Rascal, Agria) were analysed for starch digestibility in vitro (under simulated gastric and small intestinal conditions). The extent of starch hydrolysis ( % ) for all the potato cultivars ranged between 85 % and 95 % at the end of in vitro digestion. Nadine potatoes, which were waxy in texture, showed higher starch hydrolysis ( % ) whereas these levels did not differ significantly among the other three cultivars. Confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were performed on the digests in order to study the microstructural changes occurring during digestion in cooked potatoes. The micrographs clearly showed that starch was quickly hydrolysed by the enzymes present in simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) whereas the cell walls remained intact during simulated digestion process. Addition of guar gum (0.5 % ) to cooked potatoes reduced their starch hydrolysis ( % ) by ?5 % during the in vitro digestion. Online viscosity measurements were also performed on the cooked potatoes during simulated small intestinal digestion using a dynamic rheometer. Cooked potato viscosity dropped considerably upon the action of enzymes from SIF on starch as the digestion progressed. The presence of 0.5 % guar gum facilitated the cooked potato matrix to maintain viscosity similar to undigested cooked potato sample throughout the in vitro digestion, which might have resulted in lower starch hydrolysis ( % ).
