Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to develop cookies using rice bran and okara as raw materials, evaluate their palatability and their ability to suppress postprandial blood glucose elevation, and examine their potential as functional foods.

Results

CGM-based glucose measurements showed that Sample D (sucrose water) produced the most rapid glucose rise, with significantly higher glucose levels at 30 min compared with other trials. At 165 and 180 min, glucose levels in Trial D were significantly lower than in the other trials. The IAUC to 60 min was significantly larger in Trial D than in the other trials, and the IAUC to 120 min was significantly larger in Trial D than in Trial B.
