Glucose as reference food

Experimental group

Description:

Sixteen healthy, normal body weight adults after 12hr fast, consumed 50g available carbohydrates from D-glucose, tested three times, in different visits as reference food; and 50g available carbohydrates from tagliatelle control, 5% sunflower tagliatelle, 16% sunflower tagliatelle, 16% sunflower penne, and 16% sunflower fusilli, tested once, in different visits, along with 300mL water. There was a washout period of at least two days between visits. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples and measurements from continuous glucose monitoring system were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min after food consumption. The first glucose sample was taken exactly 15min after the first bite of food or drink.
