Effect of product developed from foxtail millet and jackfruit seed on blood glucose response among middle aged population

Foxtail millet has a low glycemic index and is rich in dietary fibre. Jackfruit seeds are a good source of resistance starch, vitamins, and minerals. Therefore, the study was conducted to develop product from foxtail millet and jackfruit seeds and assess its effect on blood glucose. Methods: The processing of Jackfruit seeds was done by drying seeds at 80o C for 4 hrs and converted into flour. Thepla was formulated with different concentrations of foxtail millet and jackfruit seeds i.e. 50g foxtail millet and 10g jackfruit seed flour (T1), 60g foxtail millet and 20g jackfruit seed flour (T2), and one controlled sample was developed with 100g wheat flour. The acceptability of the products was checked by using 9 point hedonic rating scale and proximate analysis of the most acceptable product was done. Glycemic index and glycemic load of product was done by intervening the product on 10 subjects without diabetes and assessing blood glucose level at 0, 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes by using OGTT method.
