Abstract

The present work was aimed to determine the glycaemic index (GI) and glycaemic load (GL) of commonly consumed Thai fruits for the potential risk of chronic diseases. Healthy subjects consumed 25 g available carbohydrate (fruits and glucose) in random order. Eighteen fruits were classified as low GI (26.5 - 54.8) including jujube unripe mango banana (Kluai-Namwa Kluai-Khai and Kluai-Leb-Mu-Nang varieties) guava tamarind jackfruit durian (Monthong and Chanee varieties) tangerine longan starfruit pomelo (Thong Dee variety) sapodilla white dragon fruit sala and rambutan. Fruits with medium GI (55.4 - 69.6) includes pomelo (Kao Nampheung variety) banana (Kluai Hom variety) red dragon fruit watermelon coconut mangosteen longkong ripe mango papaya rose apple and lychee. Pineapple has a high GI value. Most of the studied fruits were classified as low GL except for tamarind red dragon fruit mangosteen lychee and pineapple which were classified as medium GL. Various kinds of Thai fruits provided different GI and GL values. Therefore low GI fruit with low GL regimen can be considered as alternative food sources to be used for diet manipulation in diabetic patients as well as in healthy population.
