Estimation of glycemic index for various doses of irradiated jam and jelly products (0 - 10 kGY), in most of the articles humans are used as experimental models, but irradiated food is not directly tested in human.
What about the use of albino mice as a test animal for glycemic index estimation?
What is the difference between glycemic load and glycemic index value & how to calculate it?
GL(Glycaemic load) is calculated as the product of Glycemic Index (GI) and amount of Carbohydrate
i.e GL= GI*CHO
GL is therefore a quantifier of overall glycaemic response ( takes into account both quality and quantity of CHO)
GI on the otherhand is a measure of CHO quality..By virtue of it being a "physiological" measure that can be used for humans, it is determined in humans.
So, if a food is not meant for human consumption there is no utility in its GI determination
If clinical in vivo methods are not a possibility you can get a prediction of glycaemic response from in vitro determinations ... see our recent publications.
