Abstract: The aim in this work was to find digestive characteristics of three breads which are added Konjac glucomannan, guar gum and oat β-glucan separately by the methods of simulating gastrointestinal digestion in vitro. The digestive characteristics of breads was mainly considered from following four parts, the estimate glycemic index (eGI), estimate glycemic load (eGL), hydrolysis rate of starch, and the contents of rapid digestion, slow digestion and resistant starch, with comparation to the bread without polysaccharides and white bread. Moreover, the digested products of three breads were fermented in the feces of normal people and diabetic patients separately by simulating large intestine fermentation in vitro for observing the changes of pH and sugar consumption, with inulin as positive control. The results showed that the eGI values of the bread without polysaccharide and three breads containing Konjac glucomannan, guar gum and oat β-glucan were 53.24, 52.41, 52.84 and 52.71, respectively. The eGL values of them were 9.79, 9.16, 9.00 and 8.76. And the eGL value of the bread without polysaccharides was significantly higher than the other three breads (p<0.05). Compared with the white bread, the three kinds of bread have the characteristics of low starch hydrolysis rate and high resistant starch content. In the process of fermentation, the pH value of normal group and diabetic group decreased gradually, a large number of non-digestible sugars in digested products were consumed by gut microbiota, and the consumption of sugar of three breads were significantly higher than inulin and were even more than 72%. It can be concluded that compared with the control groups, the three breads with polysaccharides belong to lower GI and lower GL foods, which were helpful to maintain the stability of postprandial blood sugar. And they are suitable for diabetic people to eat within a certain range of consumption.
