The content of retrograded resistant starch of the RS3 type was determined in six plant species (Cicer arietinum, Fagopyrum esculentum, Panicum miliaceum, Setaria italica, Sorghum bicolor, Amaranthus spp.). Besides sorghum and foxtail millet, different genotypes of the species studied were cultivated in Piestany (Slovakia) in 2003. There were significant differences in RS3 and total starch concentration in analysed genotypes. Chickpea and buckwheat had the highest average concentrations of RS3: 5.2% and 3.8%, respectively. Millet and foxtail millet contained less RS3, 2.9% and 2.8%, respectively. Millet was rich in total starch. The lowest concentrations of RS3 were detected in sorghum (1.6%) and amaranth (1.2%). The lowest variation in the RS3 concentration was observed within the set of millet genotypes and the highest one within amaranth genotypes.
