Overview

About

Maintained by Ms. Deepanyeta GoswamiCRAN page ↗

The Slow Digestibility Index (SDI) is a tool that helps users evaluate the slow-digestion properties of crops or food matrices by combining multiple factors into a single score. It considers parameters related to starch composition [total starch (TS), amylose/amylopectin ratio (Aratio), total amylose content (TAC), and total amylopectin content (TAPC)], starch digestibility [rapidly digestible starch (RDS), slowly digestible starch (SDS) and resistant starch (RS)], structural properties [relative crystallinity (RC)], non-starch components [total protein, total oil content (TOC), and total phenolic content (TPC)], and pasting behaviour [peak viscosity (PV), pasting temperature (PT), holding strength (HS), and final viscosity (FV)].The SDI is flexible and allows users to calculate the index using all parameters or only selected ones, depending on the data available. Users can also compute a starch-based SDI (using only starch-related parameters) or a principal component analysis (PCA)-based SDI, where weights are determined automatically from the data. Thus, the SDI provides a simple way to compare and rank crops or food samples based on their slow digestion potential. The package implements SDI(),starchSDI(), genSDI(), scoreSDI(), and pcaSDI() for estimating slow digestibility index using predefined weighted TOPSIS, starch-specific TOPSIS, user-defined weighted TOPSIS, score-based normalization, and PCA based approaches, respectively. The package has been developed using the algorithm of Pandey et al. (2026) doi:10.1016/j.jff.2026.107208.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("SDI", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-sdi

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-SDI

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-SDI

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
