Glycemic Index (GI) – In-Vitro Analysis
Glycemic Index (GI) testing evaluates the impact of carbohydrate-containing foods on blood glucose response. In-vitro GI analysis provides a rapid, reliable, and cost-effective approach for assessing carbohydrate digestibility and predicting glycemic response, making it highly valuable for product development, nutritional optimization, and comparative analysis.
The study simulates gastrointestinal digestion under controlled laboratory conditions using validated enzymatic methodologies to estimate glucose release kinetics and predictive GI values.
