Pullulanase-assisted bamboo leaf flavonoids optimize the instant properties, in vitro digestibility, and underlying mechanism in yam flour. Food Chem 2024; 460:140467. [PMID: 39133971 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140467] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2024] [Revised: 06/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/13/2024] [Indexed: 09/05/2024]
Abstract
In this study, pullulanase-assisted bamboo leaf flavonoids (BLF) were employed to ameliorate limitations of fluidity and digestibility of cooked yam flour via physicochemical properties, digestion, structure and interaction analysis. The results showed that 1) Pullulanase-assisted BLF significantly increased the water solubility (9.02% → 69.38%) and inhibited the swelling (5.54 g/g → 2.29 g/g) during heating and cooling of yam flour, causing it to have liquid-like rheological properties (the tanδ tended to 1). 2) Pullulanase and BLF synergistically affected the anti-digestion of yam flour, reducing the estimated glycemic index to a lower level (58.27 → 48.26, dose-dependent of BLF). 3) Pullulanase-assisted BLF mainly interacted hydrophobic with various components, especially starch, increasing the short/long-range ordered structure of starch, changing the secondary structure of proteins, and forming a tight three-dimensional network structure. This study provided a theoretical foundation for the development of functional foods using yam flour and its potential application in liquid foods.

The influence mechanism of pH and polyphenol structures on the formation, structure, and digestibility of pea starch-polyphenol complexes via high-pressure homogenization. Food Res Int 2024; 194:114913. [PMID: 39232536 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114913] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2024] [Revised: 08/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/10/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024]
Abstract
The formation of starch-polyphenol complexes through high-pressure homogenization (HPH) is a promising method to reduce starch digestibility and control postprandial glycemic responses. This study investigated the combined effect of pH (5, 7, 9) and polyphenol structures (gallic acid, ferulic acid, quercetin, and tannic acid) on the formation, muti-scale structure, physicochemical properties, and digestibility of pea starch (PS)-polyphenol complexes prepared by HPH. Results revealed that reducing pH from 9 to 5 significantly strengthened the non-covalent binding between polyphenols and PS, achieving a maximum complex index of 13.89 %. This led to the formation of complexes with higher crystallinity and denser structures, promoting a robust network post-gelatinization with superior viscoelastic and thermal properties. These complexes showed increased resistance to enzymatic digestion, with the content of resistant starch increasing from 28.66 % to 42.00 %, rapidly digestible starch decreasing from 42.82 % to 21.88 %, and slowly digestible starch reducing from 71.34 % to 58.00 %. Gallic acid formed the strongest hydrogen bonds with PS, especially at pH 5, leading to the highest enzymatic resistance in PS-gallic acid complexes, with the content of resistant starch of 42.00 %, rapidly digestible starch of 23.35 % and slowly digestible starch of 58.00 %, and starch digestion rates at two digestive stages of 1.82 × 10-2 min-1 and 0.34 × 10-2 min-1. These insights advance our understanding of starch-polyphenol interactions and support the development of functional food products to improve metabolic health by mitigating rapid glucose release.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the changes in physicochemical properties, bioactive compounds, and metabolic characteristics of noni fruit at different ripeness levels. The results showed that there were significant differences in physicochemical properties. HPLC analysis was conducted, revealing succinic acid, scopoletin, deacetylasperulosidic acid, and asperulosidic acid were key bioactive compounds as the fruit ripened. Additionally, 4 differentbiomarkers (isocitric acid, 4,4-thiodiphenol, lobaric acid, and octocrylene), identified using 1HNMR and LC-IT-TOF-MS, were found to have a VIP value over 1. The results from HS-GC-IMS demonstrated noteworthy that 14 volatile compounds were identified as highly discriminative features during fruit ripening. Furthermore, correlation analysis showed that different ripeness had significant effects on bioactive components and functional activities, e.g., the inhibition rate of enzyme and E. coli of noni fruit with different ripeness exceeded 90% at the last stage. This study contributes new insights into the effective utilization of bioactive ingredients in noni fruit.

Food Chem 2024; 435:137499. [PMID: 37774621 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137499] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/01/2023]
Abstract
This study investigated the inhibition mechanism of cinnamic acid-based phenolic acids (cinnamic acid: CIA, 3,4-dimethoxy cinnamic acid: 3,4-mCIA, caffeic acid: CA, ferulic acid: FA) on starch digestion. CA, FA, and 3,4-mCIA contributed to reducing the rapidly digested starch content and increasing the resistant starch content. The enzyme activity inhibition results responded that the four phenolic acids inhibited α-amylase activity better than α-glucosidase. The order of IC50 against α-amylase and α-glucosidase was CA > FA > 3,4-mCIA > CIA. Phenolic acid's benzene ring formed conjugated Pi-systems with the amino acid residues of α-amylase. Salt-bridge interactions were the main driving forces for the binding of phenolic acids to α-glucosidase. The binding was stabilized by the hydroxyl (OH) group and the methoxy on the benzene ring, where the OH exerted a better effect. These results illuminate the inhibition mechanism of starch digestion with cinnamic acid-based phenolic acids from an interaction perspective.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of ultrasonic treatment (UT), bamboo leaf flavonoid (BLF), ultrasonic treatment prior to bamboo leaf flavonoid (UT-BLF), and bamboo leaf flavonoid prior to the ultrasonic treatment (BLF-UT) on the rheological properties, multi-scale structure, and digestibility of pea starch (PS) were investigated. The morphology and crystal structure of starch granules were destroyed by UT, thereby promoting starch retrogradation and digestion. The binding between BLF and starch through hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds inhibited the interaction between starch molecular chains and impaired their double helix structure, thus effectively retarding starch retrogradation. The anti-digestibility of starch was enhanced after synergistic treatment. Compared with single treatment, synergistic treatment increased the ordered structure and gelatinization enthalpy of starch. In comparison with the UT-BLF group, the viscoelastic and thermal stability of BLF-UT group were improved with the increase in ordered structure. This study could provide valuable information for PS modification.

Abstract
Intake of foods upon thermal treatment is typically associated with an elevated postprandial glycemic response, which is one of the risk factors for type 2 diabetes development and progression. In this study, rice starch was thermally treated using aqueous phase (boil), air phase (bake), and lipid phase (fry). Peak blood glucose levels in C57 mice increased by 16.94 %, 12.60 %, and 8.1 % after ingestion of thermally treated starch (20.23, 19.48, and 18.70 mmol/L), compared with raw starch (17.30 mmol/L). The insulin response to the intake of thermally treated starch increased (4.73 %-6.83 % higher than the control), whereas the concentration of GLP-1, a hormone used to promote insulin secretion, decreased (1.54 %-8.56 % lower than the control). Furthermore, thermally treated starch accelerated food absorption by enhancing gastrointestinal digestion, exacerbating postprandial glucose fluctuation at the next meal. Structural characterization showed thermal treatment reduced starch branching density and degree of structure order, which were not conducive to preventing the attack of enzymes. During digestion, they were highly hydrolyzed into low-molecular-weight fragments, and the proportion of ultrashort chains substantially increased. These findings provide a better understanding of the fine structure of starch that promotes hypoglycemia and initially explain how diets high in thermally treated starch impair glucose balance.

Abstract
The effect of proanthocyanidins (PAs) from Chinese bayberry leaves (BLPs), grape seeds (GSPs), peanut skins (PSPs) and pine barks (PBPs) on physicochemical properties, structure and in-vitro digestibility of gelatinized maize starch was investigated. The results showed that all PAs remarkably retarded starch digestibility, meanwhile, BLPs highlighted superiority in increasing resistant starch content from 31.29 ± 1.12 % to 68.61 ± 1.15 %. The iodine-binding affinity analysis confirmed the interaction between PAs and starch, especially the stronger binding of BLPs to amylose, which was driven by non-covalent bonds supported by XRD and FT-IR analysis. Further, we found that PAs altered the rheological properties, thermal properties and morphology structure of starch. In brief, PAs induced larger consistency, poorer flow ability, lower gelatinization temperatures and melting enthalpy change (ΔH) of starch paste. SEM and CLSM observation demonstrated that PAs facilitated starch aggregation. Our results indicated that PAs especially BLPs could be considered as potential additives to modify starch in food industry.

Abstract
The interactions of human CYP3A4 with three selected isomer flavonoids, such as astilbin, isoastilbin and neoastilbin, were clarified using spectral analysis, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation. During binding with the three flavonoids, the intrinsic fluorescence of CYP3A4 was statically quenched in static mode with nonradiative energy conversion. The fluorescence and ultraviolet/visible (UV/vis) data revealed that the three flavonoids had a moderate and stronger binding affinity with CYP3A4 due to the order of the Ka1 and Ka2 values ranging from 104 to 105 L·mol-1 . In addition, astilbin had the highest affinity with CYP3A4, then isoastilbin and neoastilbin, at the three experimental temperatures. Multispectral analysis confirmed that binding of the three flavonoids resulted in clear changes in the secondary structure of CYP3A4. It was found from fluorescence, UV/vis and molecular docking analyses that these three flavonoids strongly bound to CYP3A4 by means of hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. The key amino acids around the binding site were also elucidated. Furthermore, the stabilities of the three CYP3A4 complexes were evaluated using molecular dynamics simulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Euryale ferox is an important cash crop and valuable tonic in traditional medicine. The seeds of E. ferox are rich in starch, which is hard to digest, and the digestion speed is significantly slower than that of rice starch. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of E. ferox seed-coat phenolics (EFCPs) on the digestion of E. ferox seed starch. RESULTS EFCPs were extracted and identified by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. We optimized the extraction parameters, and the final extraction yield was about 1.49%. We identified seven phenolics from the E. ferox seed-coat extracts: gallic acid, digalloylhexoside, catechin, procyanidin B2, epicatechin, ellagic acid, and epicatechin gallate. Quantitative analysis results showed that the E. ferox seed phenolics mainly distributed in the seed coat and the gallic acid, digalloylhexoside, and epicatechin gallate were three main phenolic compounds. The phenolics displayed strong inhibitory activities on α-glucosidase and α-amylase with an IC50 of 3.25 μg mL-1 and 1.36 mg mL-1 respectively. Furthermore, these phenolics could interact with starch by hydrogen bonds, which might make its starch more difficult to digest. CONCLUSION Our investigation suggests that the EFCPs can strongly inhibit the digestion of E. ferox seed starch by inhibiting the α-amylase and α-glucosidase activities and interacting with starch by hydrogen bonds; therefore, E. ferox seeds have a promising application prospect in foods for hypoglycemia. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Inhibiting the activity of α-amylase has been considered an effective strategy to manage hyperglycemia. Hyperoside and quercetin are the main natural flavonoids in various plants, and the inhibition mechanism on α-amylase remains unclear. In this study, the structure-activity relationships between hyperoside/quercetin and α-amylase were evaluated by enzyme kinetic analysis, multi-spectroscopic techniques, and molecular docking analysis. Results showed that hyperoside and quercetin exhibited significant α-amylase inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 0.491 and 0.325 mg/mL, respectively. The α-amylase activity decreased in the presence of hyperoside and quercetin in a competitive and noncompetitive manner, respectively. UV-vis spectra suggested that the aromatic amino acid residues (Trp and Tyr) microenvironment of α-amylase changed in the presence of these two flavonoids. FTIR and CD spectra showed the vibrations of the amide bands and the secondary structure content changes. The fluorescence quenching mechanism of α-amylase by hyperoside and quercetin belonged to the static quenching type. Finally, molecular docking intuitively showed that hyperoside/quercetin formed hydrogen bonds with the key active site residues (Asp197, Glu233, and Asp300) in α-amylase. MD simulation indicated hyperoside/quercetin-α-amylase docked complexes had good stability. Taken together, this research provides new sights to developing potent drugs or functional foods with hyperoside and quercetin, offering new avenues for hyperglycemia treatment.

Abstract
One of the effective treatments for diabetes is to reduce and delay the absorption of glucose by inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase in the digestive tract. Currently, there is a great interest in natural inhibitors from various part of plants. In the present study, the phenolic compounds composition of V. opulus bark and flower, and their inhibitory effects on in vitro potato starch digestion as well as on α-amylase and α-glucosidase, have been studied. Bark and flower phenolic extracts reduced the amount of glucose released from potato starch during tree-stage simulated digestion, with IC50 value equal to 87.77 µg/mL and 148.87 µg/mL, respectively. Phenolic bark extract showed 34.9% and 38.4% more potent inhibitory activity against α-amylase and α-glucosidase, respectively, but the activity of plant extracts was lower than that of acarbose. Chlorogenic acid (27.26% of total phenolics) and (+)-catechin (30.48% of total phenolics) were the most prominent phenolics in the flower and bark extracts, respectively. Procyanidins may be responsible for the strongest V. opulus bark inhibitory activity against α-amylase, while (+)-catechin relative to α-glucosidase. This preliminary study provides the basis of further examination of the suitability of V. opulus bark compounds as components of nutraceuticals and functional foods with antidiabetic activity.

Abstract
The hypoglycemic effect of functional phytochemicals has been evaluated in diabetic rodents but scarcely in its premorbid condition (prediabetes; PD). This study aimed to evaluate a mango (cv. Ataulfo) peel hydroethanolic (20:80) extract (MPE) for in vivo glycemic/lipidemic-normalizing effect and in vitro enzyme inhibitory (α-amylase/α-glucosidase) activity. The polyphenolic MPE (138 mg EAG.g−1, mainly gallic acid and mangiferin) with antioxidant capacity (DPPH• 34 mgTE.g−1) was fed to PD rats (induction: high-fat diet (60% energy) + single dose streptozotocin (35 mg·kg−1), 4 weeks). At the 8th week, fasting glycemia (FG), oral glucose tolerance test, and insulin sensitivity indexes (HOMA-IR, HOMA-β) > blood lipid-normalizing effect were documented as healthy controls > MPE > disease (PD) controls, which was possibly related to the extract’s concentration−response in vitro enzyme inhibitory activity (IC50 ≈ 0.085 mg·mL−1). MPE is a rich source of glucose-lowering phytochemicals for the primary prevention of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the influence of gardenia yellow on in vitro wheat starch digestion. The influence of gardenia yellow on the digestion properties of starch was determined through in vitro digestion, and its action mechanism on slow starch digestion was revealed by laser scanning confocal microscopy, enzymatic inhibition dynamics, and other means of characterization. Results showed that gardenia yellow could inhibit starch digestion, significantly increase the resistant starch and slowly digestible starch contents in starch (P < 0.05), and trigger the decrease in glycemic and hydrolysis indices. Furthermore, gardenia yellow could spontaneously bind to the catalytic sites of α-amylase and α-glucosidase, affect their secondary structures through vdW force and hydrophobic interaction, and reduce their catalytic abilities to inhibit the digestion process of wheat starch. Therefore, the interactions of gardenia yellow with starch and digestive enzymes jointly promote the slow digestion of starch.

Abstract
The effects of longan seed polyphenols (LSPs) on postprandial glycemic response in mice were investigated, enzyme inhibition kinetics of LSPs against α-amylase were studied using an inhibition assay in vitro, and the underlying mechanisms were discussed by analyzing the impacts of LSPs on the structure of α-amylase using multispectral approaches. The results showed LSPs significantly suppressed blood glucose response in a dose-dependent manner. Enzyme inhibition analysis demonstrated LSPs inhibited α-amylase activity in a mixed type (IC50 3.02 mg mL-1). UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence quenching spectroscopy suggest LSPs tend to bind with α-amylase through static interaction at one binding site, mainly through hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces. The secondary structure of α-amylase was changed by LSPs as reviewed by circular dichroism, showing a more compact skeleton and more flexible loop of α-amylase. This hinders the substrate from reaching the binding site of the enzyme, resulting in reduced enzyme activity. These suggest the potential application of LSPs as a hypoglycemic agent in functional foods.

Abstract
Bioassay-guided fractionation led to the isolation of a series of triterpenoids (1-46) including 12 new ones (1-12) from the mushroom Inonotus obliquus. The structures of all the compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis as well as by comparison with literature data. Triterpenoids 1-3, 6, 7, 16, 24, 25, 27, 38, 43, 44 and 46 showed strong α-glucosidase inhibition, with IC50 values from 11.5 to 81.8 μM. Their structure-activity relationships were discussed. Inonotusol F (24) showed the strongest inhibitory activity and it presented noncompetitive inhibition against α-glucosidase. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics stimulation further demonstrated that GLU302 and PHE298 were key amino acids for the inhibition of inonotusol F (24) towards α-glucosidase. This study indicates the vital role of triterpenoids in explaining hypoglycemic effect of Inonotus obliquus and provides important evidence for further development and utilization of this mushroom.

Abstract
Flavonoid compounds have anti-diabetic activity, which can control blood glucose levels by inhibiting α-glucosidase activity. In this paper, the inhibition mechanisms between four flavonoid compounds and α-glucosidase were studied by multispectroscopic methods and molecular docking. The results showed that the inhibitory activities of flavonoid compounds were higher than that of acarbose, and the sequence of inhibition effect was scutellarein > nepetin > apigenin > hispidulin > acarbose. Also, the synergistic effects of flavonoid compounds combined with acarbose on inhibiting α-glucosidase activity were observed. The fluorescence results showed that flavonoid compounds combined with α-glucosidase to form a stable complex. And the spectral analysis indicated that the microenvironmental and secondary structure of α-glucosidase were changed. The present study demonstrated that the molecular structure of flavonoid compounds played an important role in the inhibition process, namely, scutellarein with more hydroxyl groups on the A-ring might serve as the most effective α-glucosidase inhibitor.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the most prevalent metabolic diseases worldwide and is characterized by increased postprandial hyperglycemia (PPHG). α-Amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitors have been shown to slow the release of glucose from starch and oligosaccharides, resulting in a delay of glucose absorption and a reduction in postprandial blood glucose levels. Since current α-glucosidase inhibitors used in the management of T2D, such as acarbose, have been associated to strong gastrointestinal side effects, the search for novel and safer drugs is considered a hot topic of research. Flavonoids are phenolic compounds widely distributed in the Plant Kingdom and important components of the human diet. These compounds have shown promising antidiabetic activities, including the inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase. The aim of this review is to provide an overview on the scientific literature concerning the structure-activity relationship of flavonoids in inhibiting α-amylase and α-glucosidase, including their type of inhibition and experimental procedures applied. For this purpose, a total of 500 compounds is covered in this review. Available data may be considered of high value for the design and development of novel flavonoid derivatives with effective and potent inhibitory activity against those carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes, to be possibly used as safer alternatives for the regulation of PPHG in T2D.

Abstract
To solve the potential problem of hindered β-galactosidase activity by procyanidins, carboxymethylated Pachyman (CMP), a negatively-charged carboxymethylated (1 → 3)-β-d-glucan, was applied to mitigate inhibition by procyanidins. The mechanisms underlying this effect were explored through enzyme kinetic analysis, fluorescence quenching assays, circular dichroism, and molecular docking studies. The results indicated that the introduction of CMP could decrease the inhibition rate of high-concentration lotus seedpod oligomeric procyanidins (LSOPC) from 98.7 to 46.5%, and enabled low-concentration LSOPC to activate β-galactosidase in vitro and in vivo. The competitive/noncompetitive inhibition constants, fluorescence quenching constants, and molecular docking results indicated that the mechanism of this effect might be CMP competing with β-galactosidase to bind procyanidins, resulting in restoration of the catalytic centre and key active site of procyanidin-bound lactase. Additionally, it was affected by procyanidin-CMP noncovalent interactions. This study illustrates a promising strategy for mitigating the anti-nutritional properties of procyanidins and activating β-galactosidase to promote intestinal health.
