Abstract

Health issues on food intake with a high glycaemic index become alarming these days as it contributes to non-communicable diseases. The high consumption of canned food has grabbed the attention of healthcare professionals because of its nutrient composition as processed foods that include a high amount of sugar, fat, carbohydrate, sodium and others that negatively affect health. Based on observation of research surveys, the determination of in vitro glycaemic index is still lacking, and most researchers studied starchy-rich foods but limited on canned foods. Thus, this study determined the in vitro glycaemic index of the selected canned foods (fruits- lychee in heavy syrup (LHS), vegetables- sweet corn cream style (SCCS), pulses- baked beans in tomato sauce (BBTS), meat- beef curry with potatoes (BCWP) and poultry- chicken curry with potatoes (CCWP) and milk- sweetened creamer (SC)) in the local market. This study aims to provide data of glycaemic index for researchers and manufacturers as limited information is available on canned food products in the local market. Comparison of means among the analysed food samples was computed using ANOVA Tukey's test. Bivariate Pearson' correlation was used to determine the association in this study. The findings of this study on estimation of GI (eGI) among the selected canned foods were based on glucose as the reference food. The data obtained showed that canned SCCS and LHS had high eGI of 57.48 ± 0.41 and 57.39 ± 0.46, respectively. The BCWP (41.66 ± 0.09) and SC (41.35 ± 0.10) had the lowest eGI among the analysed canned food. The findings also found no significant correlation between eGI and eGL (r (18) = 0.430, p = 0.075). All in all, the findings of this study may provide data on the estimation of GI values for the selected canned foods in the research field.
