Abstract

Recent data have shown that sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs) were highly consumed among middle-aged people and youth. Excessive consumption of SSBs was reported to correlate with the increase of the NCDs risk especially on the overweight, obesity, and type II diabetes. However, the information regarding glycaemic index (GI) of packaged SSBs from the local market is scarce. GI information is beneficial for the consumer to opt for healthier diet. Thus, this study aimed to determine the GI value of six packaged SSBs samples from the local market using the in vitro method. Besides, this study also estimated the glycaemic load, which is more representative for comparing glycaemic response. The beverages were chosen based on the macronutrient and sugar level obtained from the beverages’ market survey. All analyses were conducted in triplicates for each sample. Results showed that estimated GI value for carbonated beverage, canned coffee, fruit juice with sacs, yogurt beverage, soybean milk, and full cream milk were 54.21 ± 0.01, 46.97 ± 0.19, 44.95 ± 0.07, 44.19 ± 0.07, 40.73 ± 0.03 and 39.95 ± 0.02, respectively. While the estimated GL for canned coffee, fruit juice with sacs, yogurt beverage, full cream milk, carbonated beverage and soybean milk were 13.05 ± 0.05, 12.9 ± 0.02, 7.6 ± 0.01, 5.9 ± 0.01, 5.7 ± 0.01 and 5.4 ± 0.00, per serve, respectively. The results also reported there was no significant correlation between the estimated glycaemic index with the glycaemic load and the analysed total available carbohydrate of the studied beverages. As all the estimated GI of the beverages lies below 55, it can be concluded the studied samples can be classified into low-GI beverages. Therefore, these findings might be useful in enhancing the national data on GI, besides increases health awareness among local consumers.
