Starch Digestibility And Glycemic Index Of Dough Meal From Flour Blends Ofcocoyam, Millet, Black Bean Enriched With Unripe Plantain Peel Flour:- Ekemekwe, Delight O
ABSTRACT
The study evaluated the starch
digestibility and glycemic index (GI) ofdough meals from flour blends
ofcocoyam, millet and black bean. The flour blends were formulated in three
different proportions (55 cocoyam: 27 millet: 18 black bean, 53.6 cocoyam: 27.9
millet: 18.5 black bean, 48.9 cocoyam: 35 millet: 16.1 black bean). All the
formulated flour blends were fortified with 5 g of unripe plantain peel and
were subjected to starch digestibility. The commercial flour (CWF) served as
the control sample. Dough meals were made from the formulated flour blends
including the control and were subjected to glycemic index. The in vitro starch
digestibility ofthe flour blends showed that the RDS ranged from 29.31 to
35.89, 16.59 to 25.82 for SDS, 2.10 to 2.69 for RS, 48.58 to 63.89 for TS. The
findings of the study suggest that the dough meals possess low glycemic index,
particularly in sample C55M27B18 (10.83). Hence, having promising antidiabetic
potential in managing postprandial glucose levels.
