Registration Number

Lead Sponsor
Universidad de Zaragoza
Brief Summary

The overall objective of this study is to explore the glycemic index and glycemic load induced by an alcohol-free beer with modified composition (including almost full fermentation of carbohydrates and the addition of isomaltulose and a resistant maltodextrin), as well as its postprandial metabolic response, compared to the effect induced by: a) an alcohol-free beer with a usual composition; b) an alcohol-free beer with modified composition (including almost full fermentation of carbohydrates and the addition of a resistant maltodextrin). This study includes two cross-over sub-studies recruiting healthy participants. In the first one, 10 healthy volunteers receive 25 g of carbohydrates coming from: regular alcohol-free beer (RB), alcohol-free beer with almost completely eliminated maltose and enriched with isomaltulose (2.5 g/100 mL) and a resistant maltodextrin (0.8 g/100 mL) (IMB), alcohol-free beer with the same maltose removal enriched with resistant maltodextrin (2.0 g/100 mL) (MB) and glucose solution. In the second study, 20 healthy volunteers are provided with 50 g of carbohydrates from white bread and water and the same meal plus 14.3 g of carbohydrates coming from: RB, IMB, MB and extra white bread. Blood is sampled at baseline and for 2 h, every 15 min, after ingestion.
