Brief Summary
This crossover study aims to determine and compare the glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) of different melon varieties in healthy adults. Using glucose as the reference food, participants will consume test portions of each melon variety containing equivalent amounts of available carbohydrates.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Glycemic Index (GI) of Melon Varieties
The glycemic index of each melon variety will be calculated by comparing the incremental area under the blood glucose response curve (iAUC) over 2 hours after consumption of the test food, relative to glucose.
1 month
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Glycemic Load (GL) of Melon Varieties
1 month
Study Arms (1)
Single group (cross over)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will consume a glucose solution containing 50 grams of available carbohydrates. This will serve as the reference food to calculate the glycemic index (GI) of the test melons.
Interventions
Participants will consume a portion of melon A containing 50g of available carbohydrates to evaluate postprandial glycemic response.
Participants will consume a portion of melon B containing 50g of available carbohydrates to evaluate postprandial glycemic response.
Participants will consume a portion of melon C containing 50g of available carbohydrates to evaluate postprandial glycemic response.
