The Claim
The structural integrity of semolina cells in coarse flour reduces oral reducing sugar release during bread consumption, independent of mastication behavior, in healthy adults.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Bread made with coarse flour containing intact semolina cells releases less reducing sugar in the mouth during eating, regardless of how thoroughly a person chews, in healthy adults.
See the scientific wording
The structural integrity of semolina cells in coarse flour reduces oral reducing sugar release during bread consumption, independent of mastication behavior, in healthy adults.
When bread made with coarse semolina is eaten, the tiny plant cells stay whole and trap the starch inside. The gluten in the bread forms a tight network that wraps around these cells. This physical barrier stops saliva enzymes from reaching the starch, so the starch cannot break down into sugars in the mouth. As a result, fewer sugars enter the saliva.
What the research says
1 studyBread made with coarser semolina releases less sugar in your mouth than bread made with fine flour—even when you chew the same amount—because the tiny plant cells stay intact and trap the starch inside.
