“…Like EGCG, the 4 flavanols C, CG, EC, and ECG are competitive inhibitors of amylose hydrolysis by PPA with a K i comprised between 7 and 23 μM, whereas GCG displays a mixed noncompetitive inhibition profile with a K i of 34 μM and a K' i of 88 μM. The presence of a galloyl group led to only a moderate decrease in K i , at least if compared to the more pronounced effect previously reported (Hara & Honda, 1990;Miao et al, 2014;Sun, Warren, Netzel, & Gidley, 2016 (see Table 1)). Also, when looking at PPA inhibition, the cis-flavanols EC, ECG, and EGCG and the trans-flavanols C, CG, and GCG were not distinct from each other, which is in contradiction with previous reports (Xiao et al, 2013).…”
