The effect of yoghurt and curd cheese additions on pasting properties, starch digestibility estimated glycemic index wheat bread were studied. Yoghurt incorporations (6% up to 25% w/w) promoted considerable changes performance based gelatinization final dough consistency properties. These led a significant impact digestibility, reducing significantly the rapidly digestible while increasing resi...

BACKGROUND and aims: Dietary fat plays a role in the pathophysiology of symptoms in functional dyspepsia (FD). In healthy subjects, cognitive factors enhance postprandial fullness; in FD patients, attention increases gut perception.
