Özet

While there are data regarding the glycaemic index (GI) and glycaemic load (GL) of many foods in the literature, the values for packaged vegan analogue foods have not been previously published, although processed vegan foods usually contain more carbohydrates than their animal-based counterparts. This study was carried out to determine the GI and GL values of a selection of packaged vegan foods popular in T & uuml;rkiye. To determine the GI and GL of test foods, 12 healthy volunteer females participated in the study. Participants randomly consumed test and reference foods (glucose and white bread) on each trial day, and capillary blood glucose was measured at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 mins in duplicate. The GIs of vegan schnitzel, vegan chickpea burger, vegan mince pita, vegan chocolate, vegan snack bar and vegan cheese were 26.1 +/- 19.61 (low), 27.1 +/- 17.21 (low), 65.1 +/- 28.60 (moderate), 42.7 +/- 22.32 (low), 63.6 +/- 45.86 (moderate), 36.4 +/- 16.85 (low), respectively, according to the glucose reference, and were 28.2 +/- 16.17 (low), 34.7 +/- 18.26 (low), 81.2 +/- 31.96 (high), 48.8 +/- 12.87 (low), 82.0 +/- 54.05 (high), 46.7 +/- 28.66 (low), respectively, according to the white bread reference. GLs were 3.5 +/- 2.66 (low), 8.6 +/- 5.46 (low), 26.6 +/- 11.67 (high), 6.1 +/- 3.19 (low), 14.2 +/- 10.28 (moderate), 5.7 +/- 2.63 (low), respectively, according to the glucose reference, and were 3.8 +/- 2.19 (low), 11.0 +/- 5.80 (moderate), 33.1 +/- 13.04 (high), 7.0 +/- 1.84 (low), 18.4 +/- 12.12 (moderate), 7.3 +/- 4.47 (low), respectively, according to the white bread reference. The data from this study provide preliminary data for the GIs and GLs of packaged and processed vegan foods and show that the GIs and GLs of meat and cheese vegan analogues, while still low or moderate, tend to be higher than their animal-based counterparts which have lower or no glycaemic responses. Further research on the GIs and GLs of more vegan foods is needed.
