Brief Summary

The ileal brake is a feedback mechanism controlling stomach-mediated transit of a meal, for which gastric emptying can be used as an indicator. Previously, slowly digestible carbohydrates (SDCs) were shown to activate the ileal brake in a rat model; the current research aimed to determine the effect of common SDCs in humans.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Gastric emptying rate

    Breath test was performed using 13C-octanoic acid mixed into test meals

    Acute study; 4 hours of measurement after consumption of test food

  • Glycemic response

    Blood glucose was measured using a continuous glucose monitor

    Acute study; 4 hours of measurement after consumption of test food

  • Appetite ratings (Visual Analog Scale, VAS)

    Hunger and fullness scores were measured using a 10-cm scale (0 = weakest feeling of hunger or fullness and 10 = strongest feeling of hunger or fullness) after consumption of test food. Weaker feelings of hunger and stronger feelings of fullness indicate better outcomes.

    Acute study; 4 hours of measurement after consumption of test food

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Breath hydrogen (fermentability)

    Acute study; 4 hours of measurement after consumption of test food

Study Arms (5)

Isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOs)

EXPERIMENTAL

Isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOs) incorporated into a yogurt test meal. IMOs are a mixture of short-chain carbohydrates with a purported slow digestion property.

Other: Isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOs)

Xtend® sucromalt

EXPERIMENTAL

Xtend® sucromalt incorporated into a yogurt test meal. Sucromalt is derived from a combination of sucrose (cane or beet sugar) and maltose (corn sugar), yet it has been found to be slowly digested.

Other: Xtend® sucromalt

Combination of IMOs and Xtend® sucromalt

EXPERIMENTAL

Combination of IMOs and Xtend® sucromalt incorporated into a yogurt test meal.

Other: Combination of IMOs and Xtend® sucromalt

Raw corn starch

EXPERIMENTAL

Raw corn starch incorporated into a yogurt test meal. Raw corn starch is uncooked starch from corn. Because it is not cooked, it has a slow digestion property.

Other: Raw corn starch

Maltodextrin

EXPERIMENTAL

Maltodextrin incorporated into a yogurt test meal. Maltodextrin is a type of starchy carbohydrate (polysaccharide) composed of units of D-glucose (simple sugars). The maltodextrin used for this study had a fast digestion property.

Other: Maltodextrin

Interventions

Isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOs) incorporated into yogurt were tested for gastric emptying rate, glycemic response, appetitive response, and fermentability.
