Official title

Determination of the Glycemic Index (GI) and Glycemic Load (GL) of Watermelon (Citrullus Lanatus) in Healthy Adults (A Controlled Clinical Trial)

Overview

This study aims to evaluate and compare the glycemic load (GL) and glycemic index (GI) of different types of watermelons commonly available in the market. Using glucose as the reference standard, the study will measure the blood glucose response following consumption of each watermelon type in healthy adult participants.

Detailed description

his study aims to evaluate and compare the glycemic load (GL) and glycemic index (GI) of different types of watermelons commonly available in the market. Using glucose as the reference standard, the study will measure the blood glucose response following consumption of each watermelon type in healthy adult participants. The objective is to identify variations in glycemic impact among watermelon varieties to inform dietary recommendations for blood sugar management.

Interventions

  • Other Water melon (sugar baby)
    Participants will consume a portion of watermelon Type A containing 50 grams of available carbohydrate to evaluate its glycemic index and glycemic load.
  • Other watermelon (Charleston gray)
    Participants will consume a portion of watermelon Type B containing 50 grams of available carbohydrate to evaluate its glycemic index and glycemic load.
  • Other watermelon (Crimson sweet)
    Participants will consume a portion of watermelon Type C containing 50 grams of available carbohydrate to evaluate its glycemic index and glycemic load.

Primary outcome measures

  • Glycemic Index (GI) of Watermelon Varieties [Time frame: 1 month]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
  • Glycemic Load (GL) of Watermelon Varieties [Time frame: 1 month]

Eligibility criteria
