Glycemic and Insulinemic Responses of Low-Carbohydrate Snack Foods

Summary

The aim of this study is develop recipes containing CHO less than ICR, prepare new snacks alternatives that could be consumed without need for additional insulin doses, and evaluate the glycemic and insulinemic responses of these recipes. A randomized crossover trial will include 15 healthy adults aged 19-30 years. All participants will consume 3 test foods and reference food (glucose solution, 2 times) in a random order. Blood samples will be collected at time points 0,15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min. Glucose and insulin analyzes will be performed from blood samples. The results of these time points will be marked on the chart and the incremental area under the curve (iAUC) will be calculated for both glucose and insulin.

Interventions

OTHER

Blueberry Cake

Blueberry cake containing 25 g available CHO will be served to the participants after 10-hours fasting and asked to consume it within 15 minutes, along with 250 ml of water. Taking the first bite from test food will be considered as 0 min. Blood samples will be collected at time points 0,15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

OTHER

Snacks with Cheese

Snacks with cheese containing 25 g available CHO will be served to the participants after 10-hours fasting and asked to consume it within 15 minutes, along with 250 ml of water. Taking the first bite from test food will be considered as 0 min. Blood samples will be collected at time points 0,15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

OTHER

Spicy Crackers

Spicy crackers containing 25 g available CHO will be served to the participants after 10-hours fasting and asked to consume it within 15 minutes, along with 250 ml of water. Taking the first bite from test food will be considered as 0 min. Blood samples will be collected at time points 0,15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

OTHER

Glucose Solution First Repeat

The glucose solution will be prepared by dissolving 25 g of glucose in 250 ml of water. Participants consume the glucose solution within 15 minutes after 10-hours fasting. Blood samples will be collect at time points 0,15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

OTHER

Glucose Solution Second Repeat

The glucose solution will be prepared by dissolving 25 g of glucose in 250 ml of water. Participants consume the glucose solution within 15 minutes after 10-hours fasting. Blood samples will be collect at time points 0,15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.
