Abstract
The present study is aimed to develop the database on glycemic carbohydrates, glycemic index and glycemic load of commonly consumed breakfast foods of South India. Twenty-three varieties of commonly consumed breakfast foods of South India were tested. The data on glycemic carbohydrates were developed by using a modified method of anthrone followed by glycemic index and glycemic load by using FAO/WHO method. The results of glycemic carbohydrates among the commonly consumed breakfast foods range from 49.63% (vada sambar) to 71.84% (vegetable biryani). The results of the glycemic index among the commonly consumed breakfast foods were shown highest of 79.69 (onion dosa) and lowest of 36.89 (vada sambar). The results of the glycemic load of commonly consumed breakfast foods tested were shown highest of 39.69 (plain dosa) and lowest of 18.44 (vada sambar) respectively. The glycemic carbohydrates, glycemic indices and glycemic loads among the breakfast foods tested were almost similar except for vada sambar. To our knowledge, this is the first study to report glycemic carbohydrate, glycemic index and glycemic load of commonly consumed breakfast foods of South India and found to be higher in rice-based breakfast foods than that of legume-based breakfast foods.
