Satiety After Eating Okra Flour Biscuits

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In a single-blind, randomized design, participants will consume either okra flour biscuits or standard biscuits on separate occasions. Throughout a 165-minute period, researchers will assess fullness using a visual scale and collect blood samples to analyze glucose, appetite hormones, and metabolic responses. Okra flour replaces 10% of wheat flour in the test biscuits, targeting satiety and metabolic effects while exploring potential sustainability benefits of using mature okra. The study focuses on healthy young adults aged 18–39 with normal BMI, excluding individuals with certain medications or conditions that could influence appetite or metabolism.
