"Arista Cereal Technologies is a joint venture formed between Limagrain Céréales Ingrédients and CSIRO through the Food Futures Flagship, the Grains Research & Development Corporation (GRDC).
The venture will deliver new high-amylose wheat varieties developed by CSIRO and Limagrain, and build commercial relationships to take products through to the market.
Benefits
The new wheat varieties are expected to provide significant human health benefits.
Wheat with high levels of amylose, a particular form of resistant starch, can be used to produce foods with a low glycaemic index and potential benefits for bowel health.
Importance of resistant starch
Cereals contain several different kinds of starch in their grains, including resistant starch.
Resistant starch escapes digestion in the small intestine and passes into the colon, where it is broken down by the resident bacteria. As it breaks down, it releases short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) that:
can promote bowel health
are associated with a reduced risk of developing colo-rectal cancer.
Due to our diet of highly processed and refined foods, the average Australian consumes low levels of resistant starch.
Wheat high in resistant starch has the potential to improve gastrointestinal and metabolic health at the population level.
