Summary

The purpose of the study was to investigate how Brazilian fruits peel affect acute/postprandial glucose and insulin responses, inflammatory markers, appetite control peptides, antioxidative capacity, as well as subjective appetite ratings (VAS-visual analogue scales) in healthy volunteers. We hypothesize that certain Brazilian fruits peel added to a standardized meal will improve postprandial glucose tolerance and other metabolic biomarkers in healthy volunteers, compared with a similar meal without the corresponding plant materials.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	Control drink	As a control, subjects are asked to consume 300 ml control drinks containing equal amount of total fiber and pectine as Brazilian fruit drink. Following 10 min. beverage consumption, subjects will be given standardized breakfast corresponding to 50 g carbohydrate.
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	Brazilian fruit peel flour	In this study, subjects are asked to consume 300 ml beverage drinks contain certain amounts of Brazilian fruit peel flour. Following 10 min. beverage consumption, subjects will be given standardized breakfast corresponding to 50 g carbohydrate.
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	Negative control drink	As a negative control, subjects are asked to consume 300 ml control drinks without containing amount of total fiber and pectine as Brazilian fruit drink. Following 10 min. beverage consumption, subjects will be given standardized breakfast corresponding to 50 g carbohydrate.
