Zusammenfassung: | Considering the nutritional benefits of fruits on human health, this study aimed to screen 11 fruits found in the Brazilian Savanna for glycoside hydrolases inhibitors with antioxidant and anti-glycation properties. Aqueous and ethanol extracts of pulps were used in enzymatic assays to evaluate the inhibitory potential against α-amylase and α-glucosidase, as well as antioxidant (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assays) and anti-glycation (BSA-fructose model) capacities. Ethanol extracts of Campomanesia xanthocarpa, Byrsonima verbascifolia and Eugenia dysenterica had the lowest DPPH IC50 values (0.60 mmol trolox equivalents/g). The extracts of E. dysenterica showed potential to inhibit glycation (IC50 |
