This study determined the glycemic index (GI) of selected carbohydrate-rich foods consumed in Qatar. Recruited volunteers (n = 19) consumed two reference foods, glucose and white bread, and 10 test foods. The foods tested for their GI were Fatayer (cheese, Zaatar, spinach), Tanour white bread, white basmati rice, Shearia, Muhalabea, Sago Awama and Qurs Aquili. Results of the study indicated that all of the foods tested had high GIs (> 70). Shearia had the highest GI (84.0 +/- 1.85) using the glucose scale, and Fatayer Spinach had the lowest GI (77.6 +/- 2.00). There was no significant correlation between the GI of all test foods, using glucose or white bread as standard foods, and the age or the body mass index of the volunteers (P > 0.05). The study provides data on the GIs of carbohydrate-based foods consumed in Qatar and other Arabian Gulf countries that have not been reported before.
本研究旨在确定在卡塔尔食用的某些富含碳水化合物的食物的血糖生成指数(GI)。招募志愿者(n = 19)食用两种参考食物,葡萄糖和白面包,以及 10 种测试食物。测试的食物的 GI 值如下:Fatayer(奶酪、Zaatar、菠菜)、Tanour 白面包、白印度香米、Shearia、Muhalabea、西米和 Qurs Aquili。研究结果表明,所有测试的食物都具有较高的 GI 值(>70)。使用葡萄糖量表时,Shearia 的 GI 值最高(84.0 +/- 1.85),而 Fatayer Spinach 的 GI 值最低(77.6 +/- 2.00)。使用葡萄糖或白面包作为标准食物时,所有测试食物的 GI 值与志愿者的年龄或体重指数之间没有显著相关性(P > 0.05)。本研究提供了在卡塔尔和其他阿拉伯海湾国家以前没有报告过的基于碳水化合物的食物的 GI 值数据。
