Abstract: | This study was aimed to determine whether fenugreek seed powder and fenugreek seed extract could reduce the glycemic response when added to chapati. Through sensory analysis, 7.5% fenugreek powder incorporated chapatti and 10% fenugreek extract incorporated chapatti was found acceptable to taste. 9 healthy human subjects were given glucose (reference food, twice), chapatti (0 %, 7.5 % fenugreek seed powder and 10 % fenugreek seed extract) on 5 different occasions after 10-12 hours fasting. All the test food contained 50 g carbohydrate. Finger prick blood samples were collected at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min after the start of the meal using glucometer. Addition of 7.5 % fenugreek powder lowered the glycemic index of chapati by 29.8% and glycemic load by 46.72%. Addition of 10% fenugreek seed extract lowered the glycemic index by 2.9% and glycemic load by 12.9%. The glycemic index of chapati with 7.5% fenugreek seed powder (50.71±10.83) is significantly different (p <0.05) than that of control (72.24±6.04). But there is no significant difference (p >0.05) in glycemic index of chapati with 10% fenugreek extract (70.14±8.98) and control. Glycemic load of fenugreek powder incorporated chapati (7.31±1.56) and fenugreek extract incorporated chapati (11.94±1.53) is significantly different from that of control (13.72±1.14). This present finding indicates that glycemic response of chapati can be improved by incorporating fenugreek seed. |
