X. Pelletier et al., GLYCEMIC AND INSULINEMIC RESPONSES IN HEALTHY-VOLUNTEERS UPON INGESTION OF MALTITOL AND HYDROGENATED GLUCOSE SYRUPS, Diabete et metabolisme, 20(3), 1994, pp. 291-296
Glycaemic and insulinaemic index of maltitol and maltitol-containing c
hocolate have been determined in healthy subjects with reference to gl
ucose and compared with those of sucrose solution and sucrose containi
ng chocolate. AU maltitol containing products (solutions and chocolate
) show a reduced glycaemic index. Insulinaemic index of maltitol solut
ions is also low, while that of maltitol chocolate remains high.
