Effects of a Single Oral Dose of Sweet Protein Sweelin® on Blood Glucose and Insulin Levels in Healthy Adults

The study aims to evaluate, for the first time, the post-prandial effects of a single oral administration of Serendipity Berry Sweet Protein sweelin® compared to glucose and stevia, as a commercial sweetener, in healthy adults. The study design is a single center, randomized, crossover study. Each subject will receive a single oral dose of sweelin® compared with an equivalently sweet dose of glucose and stevia dissolved in a water beverage with flavor. The advantage of a crossover design is that it will allow to compare the blood glucose and insulin levels of each subject to his baseline in every test beverage, and to remove the inter-subject variability. The post-prandial effects will be monitored with multiple blood sampling up to 120 minutes post dosing.
