Abstract
<?Pub Inc> In order to examine the effects of industry processed pulse powder (navy bean, lentil and chickpea) on postprandial glycaemic response (BG) and subjective appetite (App) before and after a subsequent meal, three randomized, within-subject experiments on healthy young men were conducted. In experiment 1, all navy bean treatments reduced BG at 30 min and navy bean powder suppressed pre-meal App compared to whole wheat flour. In experiment 2, all lentil treatments reduced pre-meal BG compared to whole wheat flour. However, no App differences were observed. In experiment 3, all chickpea treatments reduced pre-meal BG compared to whole wheat flour. However, no App differences were observed. Therefore, navy bean powder, lentil powder and chickpea powder maintain their low GI and satiating effects, regardless of processing. Pulse powder can be used as a value-added food ingredient to moderate glycaemic response and increase satiety.
