ABSTRACT
The objective was to determine the glycemic index and glycemic load of tropical fruits and the potential risk for chronic diseases.Nine fruits were investigated coconut water (for the purpose of this study, coconut water was classified as a “fruit”), guava,tamarind, passion fruit, custard apple, hog plum, cashew, sapodilla, and soursop. The GI and GL were determined accordingto the Food and Agriculture Organization protocol. The GL was calculated taking into consideration intake recommendation guidelines; 77.8% of the fruits had low GI although significant oscillations were observed in some graphs, which may indicate potential risks of disease. Coconut water and custard apple had a moderate GI, and all fruits had low GL. The fruits evaluatedare healthy and can be consumed following the daily recommended amount. However, caution is recommended with fruitscausing early glycemic peak and the fruits with moderated GI (coconut water and custard apple).
