Processing and cooking of food with a low glycemic impact for the nutrition of diabetics, obese and for weight reducing diets

摘要

To reduce the glycemic load in the daily nutrition of diabetics, obese and for weight-reducing diets, this invention claims cooking or baking processes and other procedures for food—rich in carbohydrates—in which the structure of the raw complex carbohydrates is mostly preserved and/or short saccharides are encapsulated. This objective is attained by reducing the magnitude of the complex carbohydrate fractioning by the undesired effect of adiabatic heating during grain grinding, or during conventional cooking and also through the encapsulation of already processed monosaccharide's, disaccharides or broken carbohydrate chains in capsules within denaturalized protein matrixes, in order to make their digestion deeper and longer. These processes and procedures allow the ingestion of less restricted portions of food, very similar to the conventional ones while due to their prolonged digestion, naturally limiting the immediate production of glucose (Glycemic Index).

主权项

1. A method for producing low glycemic index baked products, the method comprising:
milling a grain at a shear speed of less than 0.3 m/sec, wherein during the milling the internal temperatures of the grain do not exceed 60° C.; preparing a dough including the milled grain; adding protein to the dough, wherein the protein is at least one of egg whites, gluten, semolina, or combinations thereof, wherein the protein is added to the dough in an amount between, and including, 3% to 20% by weight with respect to the dough; and baking the dough in an oven between, and including, 5 minutes to 30 minutes, wherein the baking denatures the added protein, wherein the denatured protein encapsulates a portion of carbohydrates within the dough.
