Differences in the chemical composition were observed in cookies prepared with UBF, with lower protein content, and higher dietary fiber than control cookies. An important increase in resistant starch content was calculated in cookies added with UBF. This was reflected in the lower hydrolysis percentages and in the predicted glycemic index. The rapidly digestible starch decreased and the slowly digestible starch increased when UBF increased in the
cookies. Cookies prepared with UBF presented important starch digestion characteristics and, therefore, could be a nutritional alternative for people with health problems such as diabetes and obesity.
