The Role of Incorporating Acacia Gum in Foods on Glucose Homeostasis in Healthy Humans
A study testing incorporating acacia gum flour into commonly consume foods in people with Health Adult Subjects, run by King Abdulaziz University at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.
Trial summary
Abnormal postprandial blood glucose (PPG) is considered as a strong predictor for developing metabolic diseases worldwide. Nowadays, little understanding is available on how a carbohydrate-rich food matrix and the starch structures within interact with the gastrointestinal tract to help in controlling PPG.

About this study
Official title: The Role of Incorporating Acacia Gum in Foods on Glucose Homeostasis in Healthy Humans: a Pilot Study
Abnormal postprandial blood glucose (PPG) is considered as a strong predictor for developing metabolic diseases worldwide. Nowadays, little understanding is available on how a carbohydrate-rich food matrix and the starch structures within interact with the gastrointestinal tract to help in controlling PPG. In this investigation, the use Acacia gum enriched flour will be used to explore the effect of adding the gum as food supplement on PPG in healthy humans.

What does the primary outcome measure?
postprandial blood glucose (time frame: 0 minutes and postprandial timepoints: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes,120 minutes,180 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Feb 2026.
