About this study

This study aimed to 1.determine the glycemic index and glycemic load of five types of pasta (tagliatella control, 5% sunflower tagliatella, 16% sunflower tagliatella, 16% sunflower penne and 16% sunflower fusilli) and 2. investigate the effects of these pasta types on postprandial glycemic responses in healthy subjects

Treatment and study plan

Glucose as reference food

Other

Fifteen healthy, normal weight subjects after 10-14 hours fast, consumed 50g glucose diluted in 300ml water, tested three times, in different visits, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples and measurements from continuous glucose monitoring system were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

Tagliatella control

Other

Fifteen healthy, normal weight subjects after 10-14 hours fast, consumed 50g available carbohydrates from tagliatella control, tested once, in different visits, within 10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples and measurements from continuous glucose monitoring system were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

5% sunflower tagliatella

Other

Fifteen healthy, normal weight subjects after 10-14 hours fast, consumed 50g available carbohydrates from 5% sunflower tagliatella, tested once, in different visits, within 10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples and measurements from continuous glucose monitoring system were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

16% sunflower tagliatella

Other

Fifteen healthy, normal weight subjects after 10-14 hours fast, consumed 50g available carbohydrates from 16% sunflower tagliatella, tested once, in different visits, within 10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples and measurements from continuous glucose monitoring system were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

16% sunflower penne

Other

Fifteen healthy, normal weight subjects after 10-14 hours fast, consumed 50g available carbohydrates from 16% sunflower penne, tested once, in different visits, within 10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples and samples from continuous glucose monitoring system were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

16% sunflower fusilli

Other

Fifteen healthy, normal weight subjects after 10-14 hours fast, consumed 50g available carbohydrates from 16% sunflower fusilli, tested once, in different visits, within 10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples and measurements from continuous glucose monitoring system were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

Primary outcomes

  1. Capillary blood glucose responses

    Time frame: 2hr

    Clinically useful change in blood glucose, defined as the restoration of glucose within normal limits during the 2hr glucose tolerance test

Secondary outcomes

  1. Subjective appetite ratings

    Time frame: 2 hours

    Useful change in subjective appetite using visual analogue scales with a score 0 to 10 (given in the form of booklet, one scale per page) at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min. The minimum or maximum score will be evaluated if it is better or worse depending on the appetite variable e.g. hunger, satiety, desire to eat etc

  2. Blood pressure

    Time frame: 2 hours

    Useful change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure before and 2hr after consumption of the pasta products
