Determination of Glycemic Index of Thai Hom Mali and RD43 Rice and Effects on Postprandial Glycemic and Insulin Response in Healthy Participants

Consumption of RD43 rice resulted in significantly lower postprandial plasma glucose and insulin concentration from 30 minutes after eating throughout the 120-minute test when compared to Thai Hom Mali rice. In comparison with 50 g of glucose, as a reference, the GI of RD43 and Thai Hom Mali rice was 56.9 + 11.3 and 80.1 + 15.8 respectively. The findings suggest that RD43 can be an option for rice which reduced glycemic response in healthy subjects.
