The Claim
The addition of 5% or more emulsified formulation to cooked rice starch reduces rapidly digestible starch content by approximately 20-30%, increases resistant starch content by 15-25%, and lowers the estimated glycemic index, indicating a structural modification that slows enzymatic hydrolysis in vitro.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Adding 5% or more emulsified formulation to cooked rice starch reduces rapidly digestible starch by 20-30%, increases resistant starch by 15-25%, and lowers the estimated glycemic index due to structural changes that slow enzyme breakdown in laboratory conditions.

When oil-based molecules mix with cooked rice starch and cool down, they slip into the spiral shape of the starch molecules, locking them into a tight structure that digestive enzymes cannot break apart. This leaves more starch undigested, so less sugar enters the bloodstream.
What the research says
1 studyWhen scientists added a special oily mixture to cooked rice, it changed the starch so that fewer starch molecules got broken down quickly by digestive enzymes, leaving more starch untouched — which means the rice causes a slower, smaller rise in blood sugar.
