Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Brown rice and high-amylose rice are thought to have beneficial effects on blood glucose levels.
However, no studies have specifically investigated the effects of high-amylose brown rice on blood glucose.
Brown rice tends to absorb water poorly and is harder to digest compared to white rice.
When cooked in a regular rice cooker using the same method as for white rice, brown rice may not absorb enough water or gelatinize properly. This can make it harder and less sticky, and may also reduce its digestibility.
Many foods show their health benefits only when eaten regularly over time.
Therefore, in this study, participants were asked to cook and eat the rice in their usual home environment, using their own rice cookers and preferred methods.
This approach allowed us to observe how people naturally prepared and ate the rice, and to identify cooking and eating methods that made the rice easier to consume.
Based on this, the study aimed to examine the effects of high-amylose brown rice on blood glucose levels, and to explore how to make it more acceptable and easier to eat in daily life.
