Antioxidant and Antihyperglycemic Properties of Three Banana Cultivars (Musaspp.)

Abstract: Background. This study sought to investigate the antioxidant and antihyperglycemic properties of Musa sapientum (Latundan banana) (MSL), Musa acuminata (Cavendish banana) (MAC), and Musa acuminate (Red Dacca) (MAR). Materials and Methods. The sugar, starch, amylose, and amylopectin contents and glycemic index (GI) of the three banana cultivars were determined. Furthermore, total phenol and vitamin C contents and α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory effects of banana samples were also determined. Results. MAC… Show more

“…The inhibition of α-amylase activity will limit the hydrolysis of the internal glycosidic linkages of polysaccharides, while decrease in α-glucosidase activity will limit the breakdown of disaccharides and delay glucose absorption into the blood from the small intestine. [27] The observed inhibitory effects of the essential oils give credence to the fact that both essential oils could be promising antidiabetic agents. However, our findings suggest that lemon peel essential oil is more potent than orange peel oil.…”

“…The method of Cushman and Cheung () as modified by Adedayo, Oboh, Oyeleye, and Olasehinde () was used to determine the ACE inhibitory effect of the test samples. Extract dilutions (0–200 µL) and 50 µL ACE (EC 3.4.15.1) solution (4 mU/mL) were incubated at 37°C for 15 min, ACE activity was initiated by addition of 8.33 mM of Bz‐Gly‐His‐Leu (substrate) prepared in 125 mM Tris buffer (pH 8.3), the mixture was incubated at 37°C for 30 min.…”

“…The color of the solution was developed after it was mixed and left for 20 min. The absorbance of the mixture was measured at 620 nm (Adedayo, Oboh, Oyeleye, & Olasehinde, 2016). Amylose content of the flour samples was determined from the calibration curve using amylose standard.…”
