This study reports characterization of originally
formulated bread from wheat flour enriched with 25% of J.
artichoke with no additives. The bread showed optimal
nutritional and caloric value, low GI and low GL values.
Considering the rising incidence of chronic diseases and
need for development of new food products with health
promoting effects, it seems that incorporation of J.
artichoke in wheat bread is a promising attempt. Further
research should be carried on this formulation targeting its
content of inulin and possible health benefits of its intake.
