The development of lower-glycaemic index (GI) foods requires simple, palatable and healthy strategies. The objective of the present study was to determine the most effective dose of a novel viscous fibre supplement (PGX®) to be added to starchy foods to reduce their GI. Healthy subjects (n 10) consumed glucose sugar (50 g in water × 3) and six starchy foods with a range of GI values (52-72) along with 0 (inert fibre), 2.5 or 5 g granular PGX® dissolved in 250 ml water. GI testing according to ISO Standard 26,642-2010 was used to determine the reduction in GI. PGX® significantly reduced the GI of all six foods (P < 0.001), with an average reduction of 19 % for the 2.5 g dose and 30 % for the 5 g dose, equivalent to a reducing the GI by 7 and 15 units, respectively. Consuming small quantities of the novel functional fibre PGX®, mixed with water at the start of a meal, is an effective strategy to reduce the GI of common foods.
开发低血糖生成指数(GI)食品需要简单、可口和健康的策略。本研究的目的是确定向淀粉类食物中添加新型粘性纤维补充剂(PGX®)以降低其 GI 的最有效剂量。10 名健康受试者(n)分别摄入 50 克葡萄糖(溶于 3 杯水)和六种 GI 值范围为 52-72 的淀粉类食物,同时摄入 0(惰性纤维)、2.5 或 5 克溶解在 250 毫升水中的颗粒 PGX®。采用 ISO 26,642-2010 标准进行 GI 测试,以确定 GI 的降低情况。PGX®显著降低了所有六种食物的 GI(P < 0.001),2.5 克剂量的平均降低率为 19%,5 克剂量的降低率为 30%,相当于 GI 分别降低了 7 和 15 个单位。在进餐开始时,将新型功能性纤维 PGX®与水混合少量食用,是降低常见食物 GI 的有效策略。
