  • Title: [Study on the relative absorption of food carbohydrate in healthy adults].
    Author: Huang C, Zeng G, Xia F, Xiao Y.
    Journal: Wei Sheng Yan Jiu; 1998 May; 27(3):175-9. PubMed ID: 10684125.
    Abstract:
    The absorption of food carbohydrate was determined with breath hydrogen test (BHT) in healthy adults. When the absorption of lactulose was assumed as 0, the absorption of food carbohydrates were as follows: 100% for rice with ground lean pork; 98% for rice; 85% for bread; 58% for corn and 30% for red potato. The absorption of food carbohydrate was positively related to the oral-colon transit time (OCTT, r = 0.8790) and the peak hydrogen time (PHT, r = 0.6745), and was negatively related to the peak hydrogen value (PHV, r = -0.6468) and to the hydrogen producing percentage (H2 > 1.8 mg/m3, r = -0.8679). The breath hydrogen test can be used in estimating the absorption of food carbohydrate in human body because this method is safe, non-invasive, reproducible and accurate.
