  2. 2. Evaluation of the Effect of Quinoa-containing bread varieties on acute blood glucose and insulin responses

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Cecilia Nilsson; [2023]
    Keywords : applied nutrition and food chemistry; quinoa; bread; postprandial blood glucose; insulin; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Three quinoa-containing breads made from three different varieties of quinoa were presented as test products to be compared with a control of regular white wheat bread. The study was a randomised controlled single-blind, crossover in which blood glucose, insulin and subjective appetite sensations “Hunger”, “Satiety” and “Desire to eat” were measured in regular intervals during a three hours period after food consumption.
