About this trial

This crossover study aims to determine and compare the glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) of different melon varieties in healthy adults. Using glucose as the reference food, participants will consume test portions of each melon variety containing equivalent amounts of available carbohydrates.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

None

Disqualifiers

Individuals with known metabolic disorders (e.g., diabetes, metabolic syndrome).

Use of medications or supplements affecting blood glucose.

Allergy or intolerance to melon or glucose solutions.

Not able to co ordinate

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Orange candy melon (Cucumis melo)

    Other intervention

    Participants will consume a portion of melon A containing 50g of available carbohydrates to evaluate postprandial glycemic response.

  • Rock melon ( Cucumis melo var.cantalupensis)

    Other intervention

    Participants will consume a portion of melon B containing 50g of available carbohydrates to evaluate postprandial glycemic response.

  • honey dew (cucumis melo L.)

    Other intervention

    Participants will consume a portion of melon C containing 50g of available carbohydrates to evaluate postprandial glycemic response.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Glycemic Index (GI) of Melon Varieties

The glycemic index of each melon variety will be calculated by comparing the incremental area under the blood glucose response curve (iAUC) over 2 hours after consumption of the test food, relative to glucose.

Time frame
1 month

Secondary outcomes

1

Glycemic Load (GL) of Melon Varieties

Calculated using the formula: Glycemic Load = (Glycemic Index × amount of carbohydrate in a typical serving) ÷ 100

Time frame
1 month
