In order to elucidate the component(s) of yellow peas responsible for their health benefits, the effects of 10 or 20 g of isolated yellow pea protein (P10 and P20) or fibre (F10 and F20) on food intake (FI) at an ad libitum pizza meal served at 30 min (experiment 1) or 120 min (experiment 2), blood glucose (BG) and appetite in young healthy males (20-30 y) were investigated. In experiment 1, P20 suppressed FI compared to all other treatments and lowered cumulative FI (pizza meal kcal + treatment kcal) compared to F10. Protein treatments suppressed pre-meal (0-30 min) BG compared to control, whereas only P20 suppressed post-meal (50-120 min) BG. In experiment 2, there was no effect of treatment on any outcome measures. Thus, protein is the component responsible for the short-term effects of yellow peas on glycaemia and FI, but its second-meal effects diminish by 2 hours post-consumption.
