Abstract

Immature banana fruit contains resistant starch type II which is recommended to be consumed by diabetes and obesity patients due to its low glycemic index. Resistant starch content is positively correlated to the amylose content. This study was aimed to assess the amylose content of immature banana fruit from several local genotypes originated from District of Agam. Amylose content of immature banana fruits obtained from 20 local genotypes were measured and then further subjected into proximate assay. Of 20 local genotypes, five genotypes displayed high amylose content, as followed Jantan (12.48%), Mas (11.31%), Lidi (11.02%), Batu (10.33%), Gadang (10.33%). Regarding to these results, those five local genotypes could be developed as an alternative food to maintain the blood sugar level, especially for the diabetics.
