NCT07017465

Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate and compare the glycemic load (GL) and glycemic index (GI) of different types of watermelons commonly available in the market. Using glucose as the reference standard, the study will measure the blood glucose response following consumption of each watermelon type in healthy adult participants.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Glycemic Index (GI) of Watermelon Varieties

    Description: Incremental area under the blood glucose response curve (iAUC) over 120 minutes after consuming each watermelon type, expressed as a percentage of the iAUC after consuming the glucose reference.

    1 month

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Glycemic Load (GL) of Watermelon Varieties

    1 month

Study Arms (1)

Single group (cross over)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants will consume a standard oral glucose solution containing 50 grams of available carbohydrate. This serves as the reference for calculating glycemic index.

Other: Water melon (sugar baby)Other: watermelon (Charleston gray)Other: watermelon (Crimson sweet)

Interventions

Water melon (sugar baby)OTHER

Participants will consume a portion of watermelon Type A containing 50 grams of available carbohydrate to evaluate its glycemic index and glycemic load.

Single group (cross over)
watermelon (Charleston gray)OTHER

Participants will consume a portion of watermelon Type B containing 50 grams of available carbohydrate to evaluate its glycemic index and glycemic load.

Single group (cross over)
watermelon (Crimson sweet)OTHER

Participants will consume a portion of watermelon Type C containing 50 grams of available carbohydrate to evaluate its glycemic index and glycemic load.
