BS ISO 26642:2010 pdf free download.Food products – Determination of the glycaemic index (GI) and recommendation for food classification.
The development of this International Standard originated from a recognized need to standardize the determination of glycaemic index (G)of foods for practice and research purposes, particularly with its increasing use as a nutrition claim, illustrating the importance of Gl within human nutrition.
The objective of this International Standard is to establish the recognized scientific method as the standard method for the determination of the Gl of foods.
The Gl is a property of the carbohydrates in different foods, specifically the blood glucose-raising ability of the digestible carbohydrates. It compares carbohydrates on a mass for mass basis in single foods or food items, in the physical state in which they are normally consumed(Reference [1). Low Gl foods are those containing carbohydrates that have less impact on blood glucose levels, because their digestion and absorption is slowed or because the sugars present(e.g. fructose, lactose)are inherently less glycaemic. When combined in actual meals, low Gl foods produce less fluctuation in blood glucose and insulin levels than high Gl foods The clinical and practical value of the Gl continues to be studied and there is growing consensus that there are benefits to health when low Gl foods replace high Gl foods in a balanced diet( Reference 2).
Historically, not all Gl values on food labels have been reliable ( Reference 4))。 Some claims have been based on extrapolation or inappropriate methodology. While a digestibility or hydrolysis index can be obtained by in itro methods of assessing the rate of carbohydrate digestion(Reference 5)), the results should not be referred to as Gl values. The method set out in this International Standard should be applied to ensure that GI values are determined by recognized methodology.
Gl testing is appropriate only when the food in question contributes physiologically relevant amounts of digestible carbohydrate to a meal or diet. For the purposes of this International Standard, the minimum amount is specified as 10 g or more of glycaemic carbohydrate per serving. Low-digestibility or non-digestible carbohydrates (resistant starch, some sugar alcohols, polydextrose, etc ) are not to be intentionally counted in the specified carbohydrate portion(50 g or 25 g)used in Gl testing.
Small amounts of resistant starch may be inadvertently included because the methods of assay of starch are not yet adequate to clearly differentiate between digestible and non-digestible starch Foods containing large amounts of low-digestibility carbohydrates or resistant starch are not suitable for Gl testing if the amounts consumed during the test are likely to provoke gastrointestinal discomfort.
