Abstract A study was made of the digestibility of hydroxypropyl starches by a relatively large amount of pancreatin. The digestibility was estimated from the reduction of an alkaline ferricyanide solution by the digests. It was found that the digestibility decreased exponentially with increasing degree of substitution.
