Brief summary
This study aims to evaluate the effect of different peach varieties on the glycemic index (GI) in healthy adult participants. While peaches are generally classified as low-GI fruits, variations in sugar composition, fiber content, and ripeness among different cultivars may influence their glycemic response. By assessing and comparing the GI values of several commonly consumed peach varieties, this trial seeks to provide more precise dietary recommendations for glycemic control and support better fruit selection for individuals managing blood glucose levels.

Interventions
OTHEREARLY GRAND
Participants will consume a standardized portion of peach variety A containing 50 grams of available carbohydrates. Capillary blood glucose levels will be measured at multiple time points post-consumption to assess glycemic response.
OTHERSPRING CREST PEACH
Participants will consume a standardized portion of peach variety B containing 50 grams of available carbohydrates. Capillary blood glucose levels will be measured at multiple time points post-consumption to assess glycemic response.
OTHERINDIAN BLOOD
Participants will consume a standardized portion of peach variety C containing 50 grams of available carbohydrates. Capillary blood glucose levels will be measured at multiple time points post-consumption to assess glycemic response.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Glycemic Index | 2 hours post-consumption (per intervention) | Participants will consume a standardized portion of a peach variety containing 50 grams of available carbohydrates. Capillary blood glucose levels will be measured at multiple time points post-consumption to assess glycemic response. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incremental Area Under the Curve (iAUC) for Blood Glucose | 0-120 minutes post-consumption | The iAUC will be calculated for each intervention using the trapezoidal method, excluding values below baseline. This helps quantify the glycemic response. |
| Peak Blood Glucose Concentration | 0-120 minutes post-consumption | The highest recorded blood glucose concentration during the 2-hour postprandial period following consumption of each intervention. |
