Summary

The overall goal is to increase the knowledge that can be used for the development of food products with anti-diabetic properties, with the purpose to facilitate healthier food choices for people. More specifically the purpose of this study is to evaluate effects on metabolic test markers of Nopal (Opuntia) in healthy humans.

Detailed description

The study include three visits at the research unit. At two of the visits the test subjects consume nopal in different doses. At one visit the subjects will consume a reference product. The intervention products are consumed at breakfast (at 8.00) and metabolic effects are investigated 3 hours postprandially. Consumption of the intervention products is separated by a one week washout period.
