This study investigated the effects of five types of pasta on the glycemic responses
This study aimed to 1.determine the glycemic index and glycemic load of five types of pasta (tagliatella control, 5% sunflower tagliatella, 16% sunflower tagliatella, 16% sunflower penne and 16% sunflower fusilli) and 2. investigate the effects of these pasta types on postprandial glycemic responses in healthy subjects

Fifteen healthy, normal weight subjects after 10-14 hours fast, consumed 50g glucose diluted in 300ml water, tested three times, in different visits, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples and measurements from continuous glucose monitoring system were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.
Fifteen healthy, normal weight subjects after 10-14 hours fast, consumed 50g available carbohydrates from tagliatella control, tested once, in different visits, within 10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples and measurements from continuous glucose monitoring system were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

Capillary blood glucose responses
Clinically useful change in blood glucose, defined as the restoration of glucose within normal limits during the 2hr glucose tolerance test
Time frame: 2hr
Subjective appetite ratings
Useful change in subjective appetite using visual analogue scales with a score 0 to 10 (given in the form of booklet, one scale per page) at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min. The minimum or maximum score will be evaluated if it is better or worse depending on the appetite variable e.g. hunger, satiety, desire to eat etc
Time frame: 2 hours
Blood pressure
Useful change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure before and 2hr after consumption of the pasta products
Time frame: 2 hours
