Procyanidins are contained in various foods, and their effects on starch hydrolysis have been reported. In Japan, black soybeans, which contain a trimeric procyanidin, procyanidin C1 (proC1), are cooked with rice and used to prepare dumplings. In this study, the effects of proC1 on the pancreatin-induced formation of reducing sugars and starch hydrolysis were studied using potato starch and corn starch. ProC1 inhibited both reactions: the inhibition was greater in potato starch than corn starch when added to heated potato starch and corn starch. When heated with proC1, its inhibitory effects decreased, especially in potato starch, suggesting the important role of proC1 itself for the inhibition of potato starch hydrolysis. ProC1 also inhibited the hydrolysis when added to heated, longer amylose (average molecular weight: 31,200), and the inhibition decreased when heated with the amylose. On the other hand, proC1 could not inhibit the hydrolysis when added to heated, shorter amylose (average molecular weight: 4500), but could when heated with the amylose, suggesting the important role of the degradation products of proC1 for the inhibition. We discuss the mechanism of the proC1-dependent inhibition of amylose hydrolysis, taking the molecular weight into account.
