A combination of germination and extrusion was applied to whole grain corn to increase its nutritional composition, functional properties and non-anthocyanin polyphenol profile, especially related to in vitro hypoglycemic effects. Individual germination and extrusion both led to an increase in soluble dietary fiber and lysine, methionine , tryptophan content, while insoluble dietary fiber content decreased. Extruded germinated whole corn flour (EGWCF) had a higher water absorption and solubility index, showing 103 and 575% increases over untreated ones, respectively. Germination increased free, bound phenolic acid and bound flavonoid content to 169, 230 and 311%, respectively. The total phenolic acid and flavonoid content of EGWCF was 260 and 249% of WCF, respectively. Germination increased the polyphenol composition from 12 to 15 species. Phenolic profiles of EGWCF exhibited collective effects, showing three new phenolic compounds . Polyphenol extracts showed more potent activity against α -glucosidase rather than α -amylase. Free form polyphenols had stronger inhibitory activity than the bound forms. Compared with WCF, free and bound polyphenol extracts from EGWCF increased the anti- α -glucosidase activity by 221 and 40%, and increased the anti- α -amylase activity by 105 and 108%.

Brasenia schreberi ( B. schreberi ) is a rare and precious vegetable, which coat with a gelatinous mucilage. This study is aiming to investigate the relationship between structural characteristics and hypoglycemic activities of polysaccharides with different molecular weight ( Mw ) range. Three polysaccharides fractions, namely BSP-U100 (50–100 kDa), BSP-U50 (10–50 kDa) and BSP-U10 (<10 kDa), were isolated from B. schreberi mucilage using ultrafiltration method. Compared to other polysaccharide samples, only BSP-U100 had a triple helix structure and existed as the ordered structure in aqueous solution. Furthermore, BSP-U100 exhibited higher α-amylase (IC50 = 0.4414 mg/mL) and α-glucosidase (IC50 = 0.5993 mg/mL) inhibitory activity. A heteropolysaccharide BSP-1a, which average Mw was 83.98 kDa, was purified from BSP-U100 by DEAE Sepharose Fast Flow and Sephadex G-75 column. D-galactose (66.85%), d -glucose (2.05%) and D-mannose (1.65%) were three main monosaccharides of BSP-1a. Structural characterization of BSP-1a showed that BSP-1a might be a kind of L-D-pyranose type galactose and mainly composed of α -1 → 6-linked Galp, α -1 → 3-linked Manp and α -1 → 4-linked Glcp. This study provided a theoretical basis for the development and application of B. schreberi polysaccharides as a potential anti-diabetic supplement.

To prepare zinc and selenium modified polysaccharides derivatives (ZnLEP-1a and SeLEP-1a), a novel polysaccharide (LEP-1a) isolated from Lachnum YM38 was chosen. Following that, the structural characterization and in vitro bioactivities of LEP-1, ZnLEP-1a and SeLEP-1a were investigated. Results revealed that LEP-1a had a molecular weight of 5.69 × 10 4 Da and was composed of mannose , galactose and glucose. The linkage types of LEP-1a were proved to be (1→)-α- D -Manp, (1→3)-α- D -Manp, (1→2)-α- D -Galp, (1→2)-α- D -Glcp, (1→2,6)-α- D -Manp. Zinc content of ZnLEP-1a was 0.69 mg/g, while selenium content of SeLEP-1a was 206.99 µg/g. Compared with LEP-1a, ZnLEP-1a and SeLEP-1a had a lower molecular weight, same monosaccharides in different molar ratios. The results of FT-IR, DSC , NMR, SEM and AFM suggested that there were obvious changes in structural characteristics after LEP-1a was modified with zinc and selenium. ZnLEP-1a and SeLEP-1a had stronger antioxidant, hypoglycemic, antitumor activities in vitro in comparison with LEP-1a. As a result, ZnLEP-1a and SeLEP-1a showed great potential to develop into a natural antioxidant, hypoglycemic and low-toxic antitumor drug.

The study aimed to examine the nutritional composition, polyphenolic content, antioxidant properties and hypoglycemic activity of ten land-race colored highland barley varieties. The results indicated that highland barley exhibited significant levels of protein (ranging from 9.33 to 16.71%), fiber (ranging from 11.59 to 15.26%), and β-glucans (ranging from 4.07 to 6.42%), with comparatively lower fat content (ranging from 1.73 to 2.79%). The colored barley exhibited a noteworthy concentration of polyphenols, whereas the yellow barley variety 1128 displayed surprisingly elevated levels of polyphenols. The identified polyphenols encompassed naringenin, salicylic acid in the unbound fraction, and ferulic acid, epicatechin, and salicylic acid in the bound fraction across all ten varieties. Both the free and bound fractions of polyphenols in highland barley demonstrated exceptional antioxidant activity. Nevertheless, there is currently limited data regarding the hypoglycemic effects of highland barley polyphenols. In this study, it was determined that the polyphenols found in highland barley possess the capability to impede the enzymatic activities of α-amylase and α-glucosidase. The individual phenolic compounds significantly contributed to the antioxidant capacity, as well as the inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase. These findings suggest that the ten varieties of highland barley hold promise as a functional supplement for regulating blood glucose levels and preventing diabetes.

Water-soluble polysaccharides (RTFP) were extracted from Rosa roxburghii Tratt fruit by hot water method. The physicochemical, functional, and hypoglycemic properties of RTFP were investigated. The results revealed that RTFP mainly contained carbohydrates (63.79 ± 0.73%, g/g), uronic acids (14.8 ± 0.06%, g/g), and proteins (4.10 ± 0.58%, g/g). RTFP was composed of arabinose, galactose, glucose, mannose, xylose, and fucose with molar percentages of 33.8, 37.3, 20.7, 1.74, 3.43, and 2.95%, respectively. Functional analyses indicated that RTFP had good oil-holding capacity, foaming properties, and emulsifying capacity. The rheological results showed that RTFP exhibited typical shear-thinning behavior and viscoelastic properties influenced by sample concentration, temperature and inorganic salt. Additionally, RTFP exhibited favorable inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase in a mixed inhibition type, and against α-amylase in an uncompetitive inhibition type. These results suggest that RTFP can be exploited as a multi-functional additive or hypoglycemic agent in foods, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

The self-assembled structures of coix seeds affected the enzymatic efficiency and doesn‘t facilitate the release of more active peptides. The influence of heating combined with ultrasound pretreatment (HT + US) on the structure, enzymatic properties and hydrolysates (CHPs) of coix seed prolamin was investigated. Results showed that the structural of coix seed prolamins has changed after HT + US, including increased surface hydrophobicity, reduced α-helix and random coil content, and a decrease in particle size. So that, leads to changes in thermodynamic parameters such as an increase in the reaction rate constant and a decrease in activation energy, enthalpy and enthalpy. The fractions of <1000 Da, degree of hydrolysis and α-glucosidase inhibitory were increased in the HT + US group compared to single pretreatment by 0.68%–17.34%, 12.69%–34.43% and 30.00%–53.46%. The peptide content and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of CHPs could be maintained at 72.21 % and 57.97 % of the initial raw materials after in vitro digestion. Thus, the findings indicate that HT + US provides a feasible and efficient approach to can effectively enhance the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency and hypoglycaemic efficacy of CHPs.

The well- known winter jujube ( Zizyphus jujuba Mill. cv. Dongzao), has been proved to contain a series of bioactive compounds. To investigate the impact of processing and digestion on its phenolics, winter jujube was processed (steaming and freeze-drying) and digested. The treated winter jujubes' phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, and hypoglycemic potential were assessed. The results showed that processing reduced the number of total phenolics/flavonoids, antioxidant, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity by 0.74–25.26%. With the exception of α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, which increased by 16.67–19.25% after digestion, these declines were more pronounced. After processing, the six discovered phenolics in winter jujube were mostly constant, but after digestion, their contents dropped by 6.72–38.64 %. These results suggested that following processing and digestion, the phenolic content and activity of winter jujube remained high (61.36–97.93%), indicating that freeze-drying and steaming are viable approaches to prepare and consume winter jujube.

Under a simple redox system of selenite and ascorbic acid , we used Gracilaria lemaneiformis polysaccharides (GLPs) as a stabilizer and dispersing agent to generate well-dispersed and stable selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs). The size, stability, morphology and physicochemical properties of GLPs-SeNPs were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV–vis), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Thermogravimetric (TG). The results showed that orange-red, amorphous, zero-valent and spherical GLPs-SeNPs with mean diameter of approximately 92.5 nm were successfully prepared, which exhibited good storage stability at 4 °C and remaining highly stable at different ion strengths and pH. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-pycrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2′-Azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonate) (ABTS) and superoxide anion radical (O 2 •− ) radical scavenging ability of GLPs-SeNPs were higher than those of bare SeNPs, GLPs and sodium selenite (Na 2 SeO 3 ), and could reach 103.41%, 94.23%, 86% at a concentration of 1.5 mg/mL, respectively. Besides, GLPs-SeNPs also showed higher inhibitory effects on α-amylase and α-glucosidase. In vitro cytotoxicity assay and hemolysis activity examinations indicated that GLPs-SeNPs have excellent biocompatibility. Therefore, the GLPs-SeNPs might be used as a potential antioxidant agent and antidiabetic agent for food and medical applications.

In this study, three kinds of thermal treatments were applied to sweet potatoes: steaming (100 °C, 20 min), frying (150 °C, 10 min), and baking (200 °C, 30 min). We analyzed the changes in the physicochemical structure, antioxidant properties, and hypoglycemic activities of sweet potato polysaccharides between untreated and heat-treated samples. The results showed that the polysaccharides of all sweet potatoes (untreated and heat-treated) were composed of pyranose structures, had low protein content, and shared the same monosaccharide composition. Infrared spectra showed that the three thermal processing treatments had no significant effect on the functional groups or chemical bonding of sweet potato polysaccharides. In addition, all four polysaccharides exhibited dose-dependent antioxidant and hypoglycemic activities. The above experimental results suggest that thermal processing did not affect the physicochemical, antioxidant, or hypoglycemic activities of sweet potato polysaccharides.

We isolated and purified polysaccharide from the Camellia oleifera Abel. seed cake (CCP) and studied its hypoglycemic activity in vitro . The molecular weight of CCP was 4736 Da and the monosaccharide molar composition ratio was: Xylose :Glucuronic acid:Galactosamine:Mannose = 10.9:4.4:2.6:1.8. The CCP contained conjugated proteins and belonged to acidic polysaccharide, which can promote the consumption of the glucose in the medium by HepG2 cells within the range of 0.125–0.500 mg/mL. Relative consumption rate (RCR) of the glucose was the highest at 0.5 mg/mL, exceeded that of the metformin hydrochloride, as well as that of Tea Polysaccharide under the same concentration. A meaningful structure activity relationship (SAR) of hypoglycemia polysaccharides had established. This result suggests that CCP can be used as hypoglycemic medicine or health food.
