Abstract
An in vitro procedure to measure the rate of starch digestion in starchy common foodstuffs was developed. A first-order equation that rules the hydrolytic process was found: CC∞ (1−e−kt). Besides an in vivo assay, to calculate the glycemic index (GI), was carried out on thirty healthy volunteers. This is a simple in vitro method that could be used to estimate the metabolic glycemic response to a food. The best correlated value with in vivo glycemic responses was the percentage of starch hydrolysis at 90 min (r= 0.909, p≤0.05, GI1 = 39.21 + 0.803(H90)).
期刊介绍:
Nutrition Research publishes original research articles, communications, and reviews on basic and applied nutrition. The mission of Nutrition Research is to serve as the journal for global communication of nutrition and life sciences research on diet and health. The field of nutrition sciences includes, but is not limited to, the study of nutrients during growth, reproduction, aging, health, and disease.
Articles covering basic and applied research on all aspects of nutrition sciences are encouraged, including: nutritional biochemistry and metabolism; metabolomics, nutrient gene interactions; nutrient requirements for health; nutrition and disease; digestion and absorption; nutritional anthropology; epidemiology; the influence of socioeconomic and cultural factors on nutrition of the individual and the community; the impact of nutrient intake on disease response and behavior; the consequences of nutritional deficiency on growth and development, endocrine and nervous systems, and immunity; nutrition and gut microbiota; food intolerance and allergy; nutrient drug interactions; nutrition and aging; nutrition and cancer; obesity; diabetes; and intervention programs.
