The Effect of Hazelnut Flour on Blood Glucose

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Obesity; Celiac Disease; Flour Sensitivity; Blood Glucose
• Interventions: Dietary Supplement: Consumption of Cornbread with Hazelnut Bread

• Registration Number: NCT06382506
• Lead Sponsor: Ege University

Brief Summary

One of the factors affecting human health is nutrition. The effects of foods on blood glucose are still under investigation. The Glycemic Index (GI), which is associated with many diseases today, is a value that measures the rate at which carbohydrate-containing foods raise blood glucose. It is thought that the loaves of bread produced will be a product with low GI value and can be consumed by celiacs and diabetics. It is aimed to investigate the effect of adding different amounts of hazelnut flour to bread recipes using gluten-free corn flour on blood glucose.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
The effect of cornbread with hazelnut bread consumption blood glucose fluctuations in participants.	Consumption of Cornbread with Hazelnut Bread	The bread contained 50 grams of digestible carbohydrates. Participants consumed these loaves of bread when they were hungry. Blood glucose measurements were taken at 0 (fasting),15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
One loaf of bread was consumed each week and the study will continue for a month. Blood glucose measurements were performed with a glucometer at 0 (fasting), 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after each bread consumption.	Within research completion, an average of a month	The effect of loaves of bread with a high glycemic index on blood glucose is well known. The higher the glycemic index, the higher the blood glucose fluctuation. Glycemic index values should be lower than white bread. Consumption of hazelnut flour rich in fatty acids and fiber should show a positive change in blood glucose.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
This classification as obese and normal-weight individuals was made with the BIA (Bioelectrical impedance analysis) method. This classification was understood by anthropometric measurements made in the first week.	Within research completion, an average of 1 week	It is known that high glycemic index values of bread consumption are paralleled by high blood fluctuations. On the other hand, the impact of bread consumption on obesity and normal-weight people is also of interest. In obese people, the high glycemic index predisposes them to overeating. As the amount of hazelnut flour in bread increases, there is a positive change in blood glucose fluctuations in individuals.
