biostudies-literatureUnknown14(21)Crummett LTWhile increased intake of dietary fiber is known to reduce postprandial glycemic response, it is less understood whether the disruption of dietary fiber, in a blender, alters the postprandial glycemic response. We compared the postprandial glycemic response in 20 young, healthy college students (12 female, 8 male) after consuming whole fruit vs. blended fruit. The fruit included gala apple, with the seeds removed, and blackberries. We used a repeated measures two-way ANOVA with fruit treatment as the within-subject variable, sex as the between-subjects factor, and glucose maximum, glucose incremental area under the curve (iAUC), and 60 min glucose as dependent variables. Glucose maximum and glucose iAUC were significantly lower (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05) in blended fruit compared to whole fruit Nutrients4565https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9657402biostudies-literaturePostprandial Glycemic Response to Whole Fruit versus Blended Fruit in Healthy, Young Adults.PMC9657402Grosso RJCrummett LTfalsePostprandial Glycemic Response to Whole Fruit versus Blended Fruit in Healthy, Young Adults.While increased intake of dietary fiber is known to reduce postprandial glycemic response, it is less understood whether the disruption of dietary fiber, in a blender, alters the postprandial glycemic response.
