ABSTRACT
The present study was designed to examine the effect of pectin (P) on postprandial glycaemia and insulinaemia when ingested with glucose (G), casein (Cs) and corn oil (Co) in various combinations. The study was conducted on five healthy male volunteers, on each of whom five meal tolerance tests were performed. The meals were isocaloric and consisted of G; G and P; G, Cs and P; G, Co and P; and G, Cs, Co and P. The meals were administered after an overnight fast. In addition to a fasting blood sample, blood was collected 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 h after ingestion for measurement of serum glucose and insulin levels. The glycaemic and insulinaemic response to GP did not differ significantly from that to G. All the other meals, viz. GCsP, GCoP and GCsCoP, gave a significant reduction in postprandial glycaemia as compared to G. The corn oil containing meals, viz. GCoP and GCsCoP, in addition, gave a significant reduction in postprandial insulinaemia as compared to G. Pectin alone is not a dependable dietary constituent for reducing postprandial glycaemia. Its combination with protein and fat significantly lowers the postprandial glycaemic as well as insulinaemic response to orally administered glucose.
