Trial summary

Glycemic index is commonly used as a method to determine the effect of a food to blood glucose. Despite its carbohydrate and fat content, instant noodle is very popular in Asia, including Indonesia. Based on the serving method, there are instant noodle without and with soup. Read more about this study

About this study

Glycemic index is commonly used as a method to determine the effect of a food to blood glucose. Despite its carbohydrate and fat content, instant noodle is very popular in Asia, including Indonesia. Based on the serving method, there are instant noodle without and with soup. Studies have shown that water content of a meal may influence glycemic response of the meal and thus have an effect on the result of GI measurement. However none specifically studied instant noodles nor the additional water content as soup (not incorporated in the food matrix). Therefore, this study aims to determine whether the serving method of instant noodle (with and without soup) may influence the glycemic response and glycemic index value of the meal.

Read the detailed description

Glycemic index methods are performed according to Food and Agricultural Organization/WHO recommendations.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Instant noodle without soupOther

    First, fasting blood glucose was measured. Then, subjects consumed the sample (instant noodle without soup) and blood sugar level were measured at 0', 15', 30', 45', 60', 90', and 120'

  • Instant noodle with soupOther

    First, fasting blood glucose was measured. Then, subjects consumed the sample (instant noodle with soup) and blood sugar level were measured at 0', 15', 30', 45', 60', 90', and 120'

  • Glucose referenceOther

    First, fasting blood glucose was measured. Then, subjects consumed the glucose reference and blood sugar level were measured at 0', 15', 30', 45', 60', 90', and 120'

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes in 2-h postprandial blood glucose level

    blood glucose level will be measured in several time points (12-h fasting, 0 min, 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, 60 min, 90 min, and 120 min after sample consumption)

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incremental area under the curve (IAUC) of postprandial blood glucose level

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 month

A study testing Instant noodle without soup, Instant noodle with soup and Glucose reference in people with Healthy, run by Nutrifood Research Center, Jakarta, Indonesia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in 2-h postprandial blood glucose level (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02625350, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
