Effect of Palm Sugar on Blood Glucose Concentrations

Investigation of the Glycaemic Index of Arenga Pinnata Palm Sugar

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 21 (actual)
• Sponsor: Wageningen University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 35 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine by how much, the ingestion of palm sugar increases blood glucose concentrations and what the corresponding glycaemic index is. The investigators estimate that the glycaemic index will be 68 (equal to that of sucrose).

Conditions

• Healthy Adults

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Arenga Pinnata Sugar	50 g palm sugar given orally 1 time in 250 ml of water. Blood glucose measurements will then be taken at time points, 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes.
OTHER	Glucose	50 g glucose given orally 3 time in 250 ml of water. Blood glucose measurements will then be taken at time points, 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes.
OTHER	Sucrose	50 g sucrose given orally 1 time in 250 ml of water. Blood glucose measurements will then be taken at time points, 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes.
