Clinical Trial Summary

This study investigated the acute effects of two fruit juices on postprandial glycemic responses and satiety in healthy individuals

Description:

This study aimed to 1. Determine the glycemic index and glycemic load of two types of fruit juices (orange juice and mixed fruit juice consisted of apple, orange, grape, and pomegranate) and 2. Investigate the effects of these two fruit juices on postprandial glycemic responses and satiety in healthy individuals

Intervention

Other:
• Glucose as reference food
Ten healthy, normal-weight subjects after 10-14 hours of fasting, consumed 50g glucose diluted in 300ml water, tested three times, in different visits, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.
• Orange juice
Ten healthy, normal-weight subjects after 10-14 hours of fasting, consumed 50g available carbohydrates from orange juice, tested once, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.
• Mixed fruit juice
Ten healthy, normal-weight subjects after 10-14 hours of fasting, consumed 50g available carbohydrates from mixed fruit juice (consisted of apple, orange, grape, and pomegranate), tested once, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Glycemic index	Glucose solution (50 g) was the reference food (GI = 100%) against which all test foods were compared. Subjects arrived at the laboratory at eight to nine o'clock in the morning after 10-12 h overnight fast. Each subject was fed equivalent 50 g available carbohydrate of test foods or reference food in random order. To minimize day to day variation of glucose tolerance, the reference food was tested in triplicate in each subject. All test and reference foods were served with 250 mL of water. An automatic lancet device and glucometer (calibrated MediSmart Ruby glucose meter with a lancing device, Lilly-PHARMASERV SA, Greece) was used for finger capillary blood samples. Blood samples were taken immediately before the start of the study (0 min) and 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min after the start of eating.	2 hours
Primary	Capillary blood glucose responses	Clinically useful change in blood glucose, defined as the restoration of glucose within normal limits during the 2hr glucose tolerance test	2 hours
Secondary	Subjective appetite ratings	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 hours
Secondary	Blood pressure	Useful change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure 2 hours post-consumption of tested beverages	2 hours
