Enrichment of Hamburger Meatballs With Psyllium: Effects on Postprandial Lipidemia, Glycemia, Appetite, and Food Intake in a Triple-Blind Randomized Controlled Crossover Trial.

ABSTRACT: Psyllium may improve the nutritional profile of fast foods. This study enriched hamburger meatballs (HM)-a popular low-fiber fast food-with psyllium, evaluated their sensory acceptability, and examined effects on postprandial lipidemia, glycemia, food intake, hunger, and satiety. HM containing 5% and 7.5% psyllium was first tested in a triple-blind sensory panel of 12 trained dietitians; no significant differences in preference or hedonic scores (p > 0.05) supported 7.5% as suitable for further trials. A randomized, triple-blind, crossover trial with 25 healthy adults then compared psyllium-enriched HM (PEHM) to control HM (CHM). Hunger and satiety ratings were recorded hourly for 6 h; fasting and 2-h postprandial blood samples; and prospective food intake records were collected. Da
