简要总结
In Singapore, the Ministry of Health has declared a "War on Diabetes" and major efforts will be made to develop and deploy programs to prevent diabetes. One of the cornerstones of diabetes management involves dietary modifications to reduce postprandial hyperglycaemia. However, implementation of a low GI diet is highly complex requiring the individual to choose foods from a long list which are primarily based on western consumption patterns. Many foods in the Asian diet, which largely consist of carbohydrates such as white rice, noodles and other flour-based products, are not represented. An alternative solution will require innovative ways to alter commonly available food products that will not only help reduce postprandial glycaemia but also preserve the sensory characteristics of the foods to create a new generation of food products both functional and palatable.
详细描述
Research has confirmed that a food's glycemic effect cannot be accurately predicted from the type and amount of carbohydrates it contains, as the rate at which the carbohydrates is digested and released into the bloodstream is influenced by many factors such as the food's physical form, its fat, protein and fibre content, and the chemical structure of its carbohydrates. For these reasons, it is possible to produce food from the same group with different effects on blood glucose. Consumption of low glycemic index (GI) food has shown to improve glycemic control, lipid profile and reduce systemic inflammation. However, there are few dietary intervention studies attempting to change the GI of food by changing the staple carbohydrates. In this study, the glycemic index of noodle fortified with Okra seed extract will be determined as compared to a control without the fortification. The fortified noodles have been previously tested to produce lower glycaemic response than noodle without fortification. With noodles being one of the staples to many Singaporeans, noodles fortified with functional ingredients derived from food sources offer a lower GI alternative to the conventional noodles without affecting the people dietary preference.
In the investigator's preliminary study, okra exhibits potential as an anti-diabetic food ingredient in the formulation of low GI staple foods. Indian okra was the most effective overall starch hydrolase inhibitor, inhibiting α-amylase with 50 percent inhibitory concentration (IC50) 2.94 + 0.70 μg/mL and α-glucosidase with IC50 of 23.98 + 1.88 μg/mL. Incorporation of okra seeds into tapioca starch, and rice flour noodles successfully lowered digestibility. To verify in vitro results, human clinical trials is proposed to investigate whether okra seed fortification in noodles successfully retards postprandial hyperglycaemia in humans when consumed.

主要结局
Change in glucose response
时间窗: 2 hour
A mixed meal tolerance test will be done to collect blood samples for glucose analysis at 0 min, 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, 60 min , 90 min and 120 min.The change in glucose response will be measured by comparing incremental area under the curve (iAUC) after ingestion of noodles.
