| dc.description.abstract | meals were scored using Likert scales. Results revealed that fenugreek seed powder contained considerable levels of protein (32.5%), carbohydrate (46.4%), total dietary fibre (TDF) (39.6%), soluble dietary fibre (SDF) (23.8%) and insoluble dietary fibre (IDF) (15.8%). Adding fenugreek to both foods significantly reduced the IAUC compared to the food alone: white bread and jam, 180±22 versus 271±23 mmol × min/L (P=0.001); fried rice, 176±20 versus 249±25mmol × min/L (P=0.001). Fenugreek also significantly reduced the area under the satiety curve for white bread with jam (134±27 versus 232±33mm × hr, P=0.01) and fried rice (280±37 versus 379±36mm× hr, P=0.01). On the other hand, the incremental areas under the glucose curve value (IAUC) of buns and flatbreads with 10% fenugreek (138±17 mmol x min/L; 121±16 mmol x min/L) were significantly lower than those of 0% fenugreek bun and flatbreads (227±15 mmol x min/L; 174±14 mmol x min/L, P= < 0.01). Addition of 10% fenugreek seed powder reduced the GI of buns from 82±5 to 51±7 (P<0.01) and to the GI of flatbread from 63±4 to 43±5 (P<0.01). Furthermore the galactomannan content of fenugreek added flatbreads and buns were 1.54±0.02% and 3.06±0.03 % respectively. It is concluded that fenugreek significantly decreased the PPG response and increased satiety among overweight and obese individuals. In addition, this study demonstrated that by replacing 10% of refined wheat flour with fenugreek seed powder significantly reduces the glycemic response and the GI of buns and flatbreads. | en_US |
