Abstract :

Diabetics are recommended foods with low Glycemic Index (GI) in order to have good glycemic control. Hence in the present study, mixed millets flakes balls were developed, organoleptically evaluated, standardized and the nutritive value was estimated by factorial method. The GI and GL (Glycemic Load) of these items were studied. The millets flakes balls were highly acceptable organoleptically. The quantity of millets flakes balls containing 50 g of carbohydrate was determined to be 133g and that quantity was administered for the study of GI. The nutritional value also was ascertained for the same quantity. The energy value was 283.82 k cal. With regard to the protein and fat content the values were 8.6 and 5.4g respectively. The other nutrients studied were Calcium (105.45mg), iron(2.8mg), Vitamin A(40.6mcg), Vitamin B1(0.25mg), Vitamin B2(1.3mg) and Vitamin C(0.4mg). The Millets Flakes Balls registered low GI of 53 and a Medium GL of 17.
