Treatment and study plan

Test meal

Other

Participants received in random order a test meal (900Kcal, 100g carbohydrates) containing rusks prepared with amylose-rich wheat flour or conventional flour. Blood samples were collected at fasting and every 30 minutes over 4 hours. Breath hydrogen was evaluated as a marker of intestinal fermentation. Participants underwent Visual Analogue Scale to assess subjective appetite sensations.
