@article{Egba_Adimuko_Akokwu_Omeoga_Okafor_2017, title={Determination of the glycemic index of varying proportions of a novel formulation of staple cassava flour - Gari}, volume={1}, url={https://www.updatepublishing.com/journal/index.php/jsa/article/view/4231}, DOI={10.25081/jsa.2017.v1.818}, abstractNote={<p>This study was carried out to determine the glycemic index of coconut-enriched <em>gari</em> which was fermented at various durations. A total of 18 apparently healthy subjects participated in the study. The determination of total carbohydrate, crude fibre and available carbohydrate, followed by glycemic index was performed on six samples of the coconut <em>gari</em> using the standard operating procedure. The coconut <em>gari</em> samples (48 hours fermentation) gave mean glycemic index values ranging from 81.96 ± 3.42 - 84.96 ± 4.90 while the 72 hours fermentation gave a mean range of 74.34 ± 2.24 – 82.04 ±5.40. The samples were subjected to statistical analysis using ANOVA and found to be non-significantly (p &gt; 0.05) different when compared to each other. The low G.I rating observed in coconut <em>gari</em> fermented for 72 hours is an indication that the food may be good for consumption as a staple except with under some exceptional conditions. This study suggests that extensive fermentation of <em>gari</em> enriched with coconut could be nutritionally appropriate for diabetics.&nbsp;</p>}, journal={Journal of Scientific Agriculture}, author={Egba, Simeon C. and Adimuko, Goodluck C and Akokwu, Gospel C. and Omeoga, Humphrey C. and Okafor, Polycarp N.}, year={2017}, month={Sep.}, pages={254–257} }
