What happens after the pearls in the milk tea are eaten is: digested by the intestines.

"The "pearls" used in milk tea are powder balls made of starch. They are usually soaked in syrup to maintain the sweetness, so they will be digested by the intestines.

For taste needs, some wheat protein and food additives are also used. In order to have a good taste and chewiness, some wheat protein is added because wheat protein has good hydration properties and structural properties. , can better combine with starch and make the starch "pearls" more elastic and delicious. Wheat protein is a kind of protein. Except for some people who are allergic to wheat, wheat protein will not cause any harm to the human body.

Extended information:

When starch is decomposed and hydrolyzed under the action of heat, acid or amylase, the macromolecule starch is first converted into the small molecule intermediate substance dextrin.

If the pearls in pearl milk tea use sticky raw materials such as glutinous rice and arrowroot starch, it will be difficult to digest. In order to make the "pearls" more elastic, some merchants will also add additives such as thickeners during the production. If they are not fully processed, If chewed, the digestion and absorption rate of "pearls" will be low after entering the body, and they will accumulate in the stomach.
