This method is now incorporated in the Australian Standard for GI testing. And yes, the mangoes were Australian ones tested here at the University of Sydney by SUGiRS. In case you missed our story on the Australian Standard back in February 2007, here is a summary of a couple of the key points:<BR/><BR/>1. In a world first, Standards Australia have released a standard for use by food manufacturers, accreditation bodies, regulators, educational institutes, testing laboratories, and research organisations that sets out a recognised scientific method for determining the GI of carbohydrates in foods.<BR/><BR/>2. The standard has been submitted to the International Standards Organisation for possible adoption by other member countries around the world, so eventually consumers in the United States, Canada and Europe and other parts of the world may benefit from this initiative.GI Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609354784645028388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13473599.post-70597104783461535352007-12-27T23:07:00.000+11:002007-12-27T23:07:00.000+11:00Some other sites (GI Foundation South Africa)menti...Some other sites (GI Foundation South Africa)mention that the GI of mangoes is 80 and the GL is 30, whereas this site mentions 51! What to believe? Does it depend on the type of mango? Here in Queensland, the popular varieties are Kensigton Pride and R2E2. This being and Australian website, I expect it is one these that you have tested.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
