Normal Versus Slowly Processed Pasta and Post-Prandial Glucose Homeostasis in Healthy Subjects: A Pilot Study
2021
Overview
Nutritional science is gaining increasing attention due to the implicit potential to prevent cardio-metabolic diseases. It is also becoming clear that food-making process might influence the metabolic response to the meal. We have conducted a proof-of-concept study to investigate whether slowly processed pasta might positively impact glucose homeostasis. A total of 14 healthy male volunteers underwent two different mixed-meal tests in a randomized order. One meal was composed of 100 g of normally processed pasta and the other 100 g of slowly processed pasta. Each meal was completed with 10 g of olive oil and 10 g of parmesan cheese. Glucose, insulin, and incretin post-prandial responses were assessed at 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 min. Glucose tolerance, insulin, and incretin response were unaffected by the two different pasta types. However, a slight difference was evident in the shape of the curve of post-prandial insulin (i.e., mildly delayed with the slowly processed pasta). Despite the common belief of a different impact of normally processed and slowly processed pasta on glucose metabolism, they show a superimposable post-prandial metabolic response after a single meal in male healthy individuals. Further studies are required to confirm these results also in chronic, real-life settings and then to translate them to metabolically impaired individuals.
