Which long-chain carbohydrate results from nixtamalization of maize?

A)Bound resistant starches increase
B)Bran fiber converts to sugar
C)Phytic acid inhibits enzymes
D)Amylose permanently crystallizes faster

💡 Explanation

Nixtamalization increases bound resistant starch because alkaline cooking hydrolyzes the maize grain and alters its structure, improving nutritional availability; therefore, digestibility increases, rather than enzymatic inhibition or fiber conversion.
