Development of Gluten‐Free Biscuits From Rice Flour‐Pineapple Stem Starch Blends: Physicochemical Properties, In Vitro Starch Digestibility, Estimated Glycemic Index, Sensory Evaluation, and Storage Stability

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
Pineapple stem starch (PSS) was incorporated into gluten‐free rice biscuits at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% substitution levels to enhance nutritional value by increasing resistant starch (RS) content and reducing estimated glycemic index (eGI). The 75% PSS formulation was identified as optimal, exhibiting the highest liking scores and a medium eGI (60 ...
