What is it about?
In this work, different herbal extracts as α-amylase inhibitors were studied by measuring the rate of the cleavage of a maltooligomer substrate 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl-β-D-maltoheptosid by reversed phase HPLC separation. Rates of hydrolysis were determined in the presence and absence of lyophilised water extracts of eleven herbs. Remarkable bioactivities were found for extracts of Cinnamomum zeylanicumBlume (bark), Camellia sinensis L. (leaf), Ribes nigrumL. (leaf), Laurus nobilis L. (leaf),Vaccinium macrocarpon Aiton(fruit) and Syzygium aromaticum L. (bud).
