NCT04369716

Brief Summary

The primary aim of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of a whole orange, orange juice alone, and orange juice with pomace, and a whole apple, apple juice alone, apple juice with pomace on glycemic response. Fruit pomace is a fiber-rich byproduct that is isolated during normal juice production of fruits, such as orange and apple.

  • Maximum concentration (Cmax) for blood glucose

    t = -15, -5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min where t = 0 min is the start of study product consumption

  • Time to maximum concentration (tmax) for blood glucose

    t = -15, -5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min where t = 0 min is the start of study product consumption

  • Maximum concentration (Cmax) for insulin

    t = -15, -5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min where t = 0 min is the start of study product consumption

  • Subject is on a stable dose of vitamins, minerals, and other supplements throughout the trial and is willing to maintain the current use throughout the trial. On test days, subject agrees not to take any vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements until dismissal from the clinic. Failure to comply will result in a rescheduled test visit.
  • If a female on oral contraceptives, the subject must be on a stable dose of oral contraceptives \[defined as same dose for the past 90 d
