Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A randomised repeated measures design will be used in which each subject receives all diets in a random order.
The test foods will be as follows:

1. White bread: 105 g (Reference) plus 188 ml water (Treatment: Chew)
2. Soy-purple wheat kibbled bread: 163 g plus 150 ml water (Treatment: Chew)
3. Purple wheat kibbled bread: 125 g plus 171 ml water (Treatment: Chew)
4. White bread: 105 g (Reference) homogenized with 188 ml water (Treatment: Swallow)
5. Soy-purple wheat kibbled bread: 163 g homogenized with 150 ml water (Treatment: Swallow)
6. Purple wheat kibbled bread: 125 g homogenized with 171 ml water (Treatment: Swallow)
7. White bread: 105 g (Reference) plus 188 ml water (Treatment: Swallow without chewing)
8. Soy-purple wheat kibbled bread: 163 plus 150 ml water (Treatment: Swallow without chewing)
9. Purple wheat kibbled bread: 125 g plus 171 ml water (Treatment: Swallow without chewing).

An additional 150 ml of water will be consumed with all diets.

Foods given above contain approximately 40 g of available carbohydrate. The exact available carbohydrate content of all diets will be determined by in vitro digestive analysis prior to calculating the results.

The breads will be prepared in the Plant & Food Research, food safe labs. Breads will be baked on every Friday and divided into required portions and frozen until testing so that all subjects are tested with kibbled grain and white breads that have had identical treatment. Respondents will be asked to come for the trial between Mondays to Fridays. The breads will be thawed to room temperature overnight before being served. Participants will be asked to ingest breads 1, 2, 3 and 7, 8, 9 with and without chewing respectively, which will take 6 sessions for the subject. Breads 4. 5, 6 will be thawed to room temperature (overnight), homogenized with 150 ml of water not more than 1 h before testing, and consumed in 3 sessions. The subjects will be given 300 ml of water to be consumed with all diets.

On each test day the volunteers will be seated and asked to remain so for the duration of the test. Once each subject is relaxed and comfortable a baseline blood sugar measurement will be taken in duplicate for that day. Each subject will then be given a test food and instructed to consume the whole amount within a ten-minute period. Blood glucose testing will be by finger prick blood sampling. Samples will be thus be collected at 0 (baseline x 2), 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. Blood glucose will be measured immediately using a HemoCue® blood glucose meter. A visual analogue scale will be used to measure appetite over the two hours at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 mins. The washout period for this crossover study is 48 hours between each session.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 307871 0
To determine the glycaemic potency and demonstrate the effect of postprandial blood glucose concentrations of soy-purple wheat kibbled bread, purple wheat kibbled bread and white bread on a 40 g carbohydrate basis.
Timepoint [1] 307871 0
Measure blood glucose concentrations at 0 (baseline x 2), 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after a serving of two kibbled grain bread varieties and a white bread reference (equivalent 40 g carbohydrate) in a particular type of treatment. Nine test sessions will be conducted over a period of seven weeks with at least a 48-hour washout between sessions.
Secondary outcome [1] 353187 0
To determine the effect of intact grain structure on the postprandial blood glucose concentrations in response to ingesting bread with or without chewing.
Timepoint [1] 353187 0
Measure blood glucose concentrations at 0 (baseline x 2), 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after a serving of two kibbled bread varieties and a white bread reference (equivalent 40 g carbohydrate) in a particular type of treatment. Nine test sessions will be conducted over a period of seven weeks with at least a 48-hour washout between sessions.

Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Each participant will be assigned an identification number, including those who fail the screening procedure by central randomization by computer.

Participants who pass the screening procedure will be allocated numbers after the recruitment process is finished. Therefore, the recruiter was unaware of the treatment order for each individual at time of recruiting. Each participant receives all treatments in random order rather than being allocated to one group. Randomization of the samples and treatments will be completed by a statistician at Plant & Food Research using a computer.

Allocation Not Concealed.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
The order of the diets and treatments for each subject (n=12) will be determined by computer randomisation of numbers

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Groups will be compared in terms of response amplitude, time o baseline and incremental area under the blood glucose response curve by comparison of treatments. A registered statistician at Plant and Foood Research will conduct the statistical analysis.

The participant numbers (n = 12) exceeds the minimum number (n=10) specified by the current ISO method (ISO 26642:2010) for determination of glycaemic index and is typical of studies involving comparisons of foods.
