Glycemic index of flakes made from mocaf-black rice and bean flour as alternative snacks for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the glycemic index and glycemic load of mocaf-black rice flakes. The study used a single-factor completely randomized design in which the type of bean flour added were black soybean flour and jack bean flour. The glycemic index was analyzed using the incremental area under the blood glucose response curve (IAUC) method. The glycemic index and glycemic load data were analyzed using paired T-test. The results showed that mocaf-black rice flakes with the addition of black soybean flour and jack bean flour had glycemic indexes of 50,19±21,57; 52,59±22,93 and glycemic loads of 13,75±5,91; 14,60±6,37, respectively. Both flakes can be recommended as snacks for people with type 2 diabetes.
