Study advances understanding of prebiotic resistant potato starch for personalized nutrition Resistant potato starch may improve LDL cholesterol levels, but the effects are not shared by everyone, says a new study that highlights the potential of the prebiotic for use in personalized nutrition applications.
For ‘responders’, the LDL cholesterol improvements were correlated with increases in levels of
Parasutterella bacteria in the gut.
Parasutterella is a member of phylum
Proteobacteria, which are generally considered to be undesirable or even pathogenic members of the gut microbiome.

Prebiotic ramen? Arista eyes Japan as next big market for products made with its high-fibre, low-GI, clean label wheat By Pearly Neo Arista Cereal Technologies has set its sights on Japan as the next big market for foods made from its special low-GI, naturally prebiotic-containing wheat, particularly in popular local items such as ramen.
Arista is a spin-off from a collaboration between the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and French agricultural cooperative Limagrain. The high-fibre wheat, or high amylose wheat (HAW) as they call it, is the result of over 20 years of joint research since as far back as 1998.
