The GI analysis demonstrates that the high fibers added to biscuits had benefits to its consumers. It increase dietary fiber intake and reduce the glycemic index value of the biscuit, moreover it act as prebiotic to the gut microflora. The GI analysis shows the biscuit with more fibers rather than only wheat flour has very low GI of 40.96 when compare to 63.25 for the control Hence low GI biscuits can be suitable for all age groups and can be seen as a Healthy alternative for junk foods especially to school going kids.
