Postprandial Response to Different Jams

September 18, 2012 updated by: Alfredo Martinez, Clinica Universidad de Navarra, Universidad de Navarra

Study of the Effects of Three Strawberry Jams, Differing in Carbohydrate and Antioxidant Content, on Postprandial Response in Healthy Subjects

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of an acute intake of three different types of strawberry jam, differing in the carbohydrates and antioxidants content, on postprandial glucose metabolism, lipid profile, antioxidant status and satiety indices, in healthy adults.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Study Design: Randomized, postprandial, crossover, double-blind intervention with three arms.

Subjects: Sixteen healthy adults

Product studied: At each arm, participants consume 60g of strawberry jam:

  • High-sugar jam (traditional; HS),
  • Low-sugar jam (without added-sugar; LS),
  • Low-sugar jam including antioxidant extract from strawberry pulp (LSA).
