Summary

This study aims to evaluate and compare the glycemic load (GL) and glycemic index (GI) of different types of watermelons commonly available in the market. Using glucose as the reference standard, the study will measure the blood glucose response following consumption of each watermelon type in healthy adult participants.

Conditions

  • Glycemic Index
  • Glycemic Load

Interventions

OTHER

Water melon (sugar baby)

Participants will consume a portion of watermelon Type A containing 50 grams of available carbohydrate to evaluate its glycemic index and glycemic load.

OTHER

watermelon (Charleston gray)

Participants will consume a portion of watermelon Type B containing 50 grams of available carbohydrate to evaluate its glycemic index and glycemic load.

OTHER

watermelon (Crimson sweet)

Participants will consume a portion of watermelon Type C containing 50 grams of available carbohydrate to evaluate its glycemic index and glycemic load.
