Abstract:

Mulberry is widely applied in medicine because it contains many active substances. The α-glucosidase inhibition of aqueous extract from different mulberry organizations is determined. The results show that the extract from different mulberry organizations exhibits different inhibiting effects, Aqueous extract of mulberry seeds exhibits the strongest inhibition, the inhibition rate reaches 85.4%, the inhibition rate of mulberry leaves is the lowest for 33.9%. The α-glucosidase inhibition rate is also different under different concentrations of aqueous extract and the different time of aqueous extract incubating with enzyme. This paper provides a theoretical basis for selecting the appropriate mulberry tissue for producing α-glucosidase inhibitor and improving the comprehensive utilization of mulberry resources.
