Determination of Glycemic Index of Six Greek Honey Grades

Summary

This study determined the glycemic index and glycemic load of six Greek honey varieties

Conditions

• Potential Abnormality of Glucose Tolerance
• Appetitive Behavior

Interventions

OTHER

Glucose as reference food

Eleven subjects (male: 2, female: 9) consumed 50g glucose diluted in 300ml water, tested three times, in different weeks, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min.

OTHER

Fir honey

Eleven subjects (male: 2, female: 9) consumed 50g available carbohydrates of fir honey diluted in 300ml water, tested once, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min.

OTHER

Heather honey

Eleven subjects (male: 2, female: 9) consumed 50g available carbohydrates of heather honey diluted in 300ml water, tested once, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min.

OTHER

Citrus honey

Eleven subjects (male: 2, female: 9) consumed 50g available carbohydrates of citrus honey diluted in 300ml water, tested once, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min.

OTHER

Pine honey

Eleven subjects (male: 2, female: 9) consumed 50g available carbohydrates of pine honey diluted in 300ml water, tested once, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min.

OTHER

Thyme honey

Eleven subjects (male: 2, female: 9) consumed 50g available carbohydrates of thyme honey diluted in 300ml water, tested once, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min.

OTHER

Chestnut honey

Eleven subjects (male: 2, female: 9) consumed 50g available carbohydrates of chestnut honey diluted in 300ml water, tested once, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min.
