Effects of Sourdough Fermented Rye Crisp Bread on Appetite and Postprandial Metabolic Responses

The overall objective is to evaluate the impact of sourdough fermented crisp bread on effects on appetite and postprandial glucose and insulin responses. Beneficial effects on appetite and postprandial insulin responses have been observed, particularly for unfermented rye crisp breads in a previous study. In the present study, the investigators evaluated how the intake of sourdough fermented rye crisp breads vs. unfermented rye crisp bread as well as a control refined wheat crisp bread product may affect self-rated appetite and postprandial insulin and glucose responses in healthy men and women in a meal-study. The investigators characterized intervention products with regards to microstructural and chemical features in order to elucidate underlying mechanisms for potential effects observed on appetite and postprandial metabolic responses.
