It doesn’t compare starch-sugar ratio during digestion tho, not sure if there are any studies that do that. But higher initial maltose content means a higher spike.
higher initial maltose content means a higher spike
Based on your ref, I’m not convinced that this is truly the case though. I think this may be more relevant to your point: https://doi.org/10.1007%2Fbf01092074
I’ll read the full article later, but based on the abstract, it doesn’t sound promising. Maltose is readily absorbed being a simple sugar while amylose is a multi-sugar (and one of the components of starch) that has to be broken down first in the digestive tract, so I don’t think those are comparable.

What you are essentially saying here is that you don’t believe sugary drinks will spike your blood sugar level.
Lol no :p I’m not disagreeing with you, I’m saying that you haven’t convincingly substantiated your claims.
I was mostly hoping to find direct evidence to support the claim that amylase pre-treated oat-water is more destabilizing to blood sugar levels than non pre-treated. I’m getting the impression that you don’t know of any.
That is not to say that your claim is wrong, just that it is, at best, merely supported by indirect evidence.
Edit: typo
Amylose is a polysaccharide and one of the two compounds that form starch (alongside amylopectin). What Oatly adds is amylase, one of the enzymes in our body that breaks down polysaccharides into absorbable sugars which means that their oat milk already contains higher amounts of reduced sugars due to that process which is shown in the study I’ve linked earlier.
There is this study about different kinds of processing with alpha-amylase. The relevant data is in Figure 2, control (C in the figure) was just an oat-water slurry that was heated for some time, En is with the addition of amylase. The rest is about exploring different processing techniques.

Thanks for the ref.

There seems to be a confusion here:

Sorry, fixed the typo
