Summary

This study investigated the short-term effects of fruit juice enriched with vitamin D3, n-3 fatty acids, and probiotics on subjective appetite, energy intake, and glycemic responses, in both normal-weight and overweight, healthy adults.

Detailed description

This study aimed to 1. Assess the subjective appetite of participants after the consumption of fruit juice (100% orange) enriched with vitamin D3, n-3 fatty acids, and probiotics compared to regular fruit juice (without any fortification), and 2. Examine the short-term effects of enriched fruit juice compared to regular fruit juice on glycemic responses and blood pressure, in both normal-weight and overweight healthy adults

Conditions

• Subjective Appetite

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Orange juice with vitamin D3, n-3 fatty acids, and probiotics as preload	Twenty-three healthy adults with normal weight and twenty-three healthy adults with overweight consumed a standardized breakfast consisting of 2 slices of white bread and honey (350 kcal in total) after a 12-hour fast. Two hours later they were offered 347 mL of the enriched orange juice (containing 50 g available carbohydrates), and 3 hours after the preload they were offered an ad libitum lunch (chicken breast with white rice). Foods were weighed at the time of serving and any leftovers were weighed again after lunch to determine the amount of food consumed. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples and visual analog scales (VAS) of 100 mm were collected at baseline and at 60, 120, 135, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300, 330, 360, 390, and 420 minutes after breakfast consumption. Blood pressure was measured at baseline, 120, 300, and 420 minutes.
