Whole pulses (beans, @entity3587 , @entity13474 and lentils) elicit low postprandial blood @entity413 (BG) responses in adults; however, their consumption in North America is low. One potential strategy to increase the dietary intake of pulses is the utilisation of commercial pulse powders in food products; however, it is unclear whether they retain the biological benefits observed with whole pulses. Therefore, the present study examined the effects of commercially prepared pulse powders on BG response before and after a subsequent meal in healthy young @entity1 . Overall, three randomised, within-subject experiments were conducted. In each experiment, @entity1 received whole, pur  ed and powdered pulses (navy beans in Expt 1; lentils in Expt 2; @entity13474 in Expt 3) and whole- @entity3505 flour as the control. All treatments were controlled for available @entity1735 content. A fixed-energy pizza meal (50  2 kJ/kg body weight) was provided at 120 min. BG concentration was measured before (0-120 min) and after (140-200 min) the pizza meal. BG concentration peaked at 30 min in all experiments, and pulse forms did not predict their effect on BG response. Compared with the whole- @entity3505 flour control, navy bean treatments lowered peak BG concentrations (Expt 1, P< 0.05), but not the mean BG concentration over 120 min. The mean BG concentration was lower for all lentil (Expt 2, P= 0.008) and @entity13474 (Expt 3, P= 0.002) treatments over 120 min. Processing pulses to powdered form does not eliminate the benefits of whole pulses on BG response, lending support to the use of pulse powders as value-added food ingredients to moderate postprandial glycaemic response.
