Abstract

Objective: To determine the glycemic index (GI) of a nutritional product: Anmum Materna - non-added sugar. Method: The study applied the method of determining the GI of food according to the National Standard TCVN10036: 2013 on fifteen adults aged 20-35 years old. Result: The GI value of Anmum Materna - non-added sugar was determined to be twenty 25. Conclusion: Anmum Materna - non-added sugar product’s GI is 25, classified as a low GI product, which can be used with a balanced diet for people with diabetes, or those at risk of diabetes or in need of blood glucose control and pregnant women with high blood sugar.
