Effects of Faba Bean Fractions as Ingredients in Novel Food Products on Glycemia, Appetite and Metabolic Control
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The investigators hypothesized that consuming crackers or pasta enriched with faba bean fractions (faba bean protein concentrate, faba bean protein isolate, faba bean flour and faba bean starch), would reduce the blood glucose response to the meal compared to foods without faba bean components and reduce food intake at a meal

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in blood glucose levels [Starting at the beginning of each session (0 minutes, before consumption of treatment) and every 15 - 30 minutes up to 200 minutes (time of completion of each session)]
Each participant will attend 5 sessions in total (randomized 5-arm cross-over design)
- Change in gut hormone levels measured in the blood [Starting at the beginning of each session (0 minutes, before consumption of treatment) and every 30 minutes up to 200 minutes (time of completion of each session)]
Each participant will attend 5 sessions in total (randomized 5-arm cross-over design)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Subjective appetite [From 0 to 200 minutes]
Measured using Visual Analog Scales (VAS)
- Ad libitum food (pizza meal) intake as measured by the amount of pizza (in grams) consumed during the 20 minute period [120 minutes after completion of treatment, 20 minutes were allocated to allow for pizza consumption]
Each participant will also answer questions related to physical comfort, motivation to eat, and rating feelings of energy and fatigue using Visual Analog Scales (VAS)
