Abstract
Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the impact of reformulated baked goods on cardiometabolic markers.
Methods: Randomized and non-randomized controlled trials that assessed the impact of reformulated baked goods on cardiometabolic markers were extracted from PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE. A quantitative synthesis using a random effect model was employed for the meta-analysis; otherwise, a narrative synthesis was implemented.
Results: Forty-five studies (17 acute and 28 longer trials) were included, and n = 12 studies on fiber-reformulated bread were meta-analyzed. The Meta-analysis of n = 3 acute studies showed that fiber-reformulated bread did not reduce postprandial blood glucose at 120 min after consumption compared to control (MD, 0.63 mmol/L; 95% CI -0.25, 1.51; p = 0.16; I2 = 86%). In the long-term studies (n = 9), fiber-reformulated bread intake compared to control reduced total cholesterol (MD, -0.20 mmol/L; 95% CI -0.33, -0.07; p = 0.003; I2 = 32%), LDL-C (MD, -0.16 mmol/L; 95% CI -0.27, -0.04; p = 0.01; I2 = 50%), glucose (MD, -0.22 mmol/L; 95% CI -0.39, -0.05; p = 0.01; I2 = 67%) and insulin (MD, -2.12 µU/mL; 95% CI -3.56, -0.69; p = 0.004; I2 = 51%) concentrations. No impact was observed on anthropometric indices, HDL-C, triglycerides, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, or blood pressure.
Conclusion: Baked goods effectively incorporated diverse ingredients (mostly fiber) and induced small reductions in cardiometabolic markers.
期刊介绍:
Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition serves as an authoritative outlet for critical perspectives on contemporary technology, food science, and human nutrition.
With a specific focus on issues of national significance, particularly for food scientists, nutritionists, and health professionals, the journal delves into nutrition, functional foods, food safety, and food science and technology. Research areas span diverse topics such as diet and disease, antioxidants, allergenicity, microbiological concerns, flavor chemistry, nutrient roles and bioavailability, pesticides, toxic chemicals and regulation, risk assessment, food safety, and emerging food products, ingredients, and technologies.
