Diospyros lotus L. fruit: A potential antidiabetic functional food targeting intestinal starch hydrolysis

Abstract
Post-meal hyperglycaemia is considered a prominent therapeutic target to attenuate the progression of diabetes and its associated complications. The present study identified fruit extract of Diospyros lotus Linnaeus, of the Ebenaceae family, as an inhibitor of starch digestion through the inhibition of both alpha amylase and alpha glucosidase. The extract inhibits porcine and human pancreatic amyl...
