GOMEZ, Alejandra et al. Glycemic effect of a functional pancake made from an instant oat mix. Rev Esp Nutr Hum Diet [online]. 2022, vol.26, n.3, pp.189-196.  Epub 13-Mar-2023. ISSN 2174-5145.  https://dx.doi.org/10.14306/renhyd.26.3.1668.

Introduction:

The glycemic index (GI) quantifies the increase in blood glucose that occurs after food intake, in relation to glucose intake. This could be modified with the consumption of functional foods, whose components affect body functions in a specific and positive way, promoting a physiological or psychological effect, beyond its traditional nutritional value. The objective was to evaluate the glycemic effect of a functional pancake made from an instant oatmeal mix.

Methodology:

An experimental study was carried out, developing the oat pancake formula, variables such as fiber, pH and humidity were measured; using four treatments varying their percentages of wheat flour and oatmeal. The glycemic index of the best pancake treatment was evaluated in 7 subjects, taking into account the ingestion of 50 g of available carbohydrates from oat pancake and 50 g of carbohydrates from white bread as a control. The inclusion criteria were according to the FAO methodology for determining the glycemic index through the area under the curve.

Results:

The glycemic index of the new product was low, with an average of 35.6% of the seven subjects.

Conclusions:

The oat pancake is a functional food with a low glycemic index and high fiber content, therefore, its consumption could be recommended as a healthy option for the general population.
