Overview

In vitro and in vivo results show banana and plantain inhibit carbohydrate enzymes, indicating benefits for metabolic disorders.

Key Points

  • The study explores the antioxidant and hypoglycemic properties of underutilized parts of plant-based foods.
  • Investigated α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition in vitro
  • Conducted hypoglycemic effects in vivo using hyperglycemic rats
  • Employed high sucrose- and maltose-induced models for tests
  • Banana peel and plantain showed high α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition
  • IC 50 values for the extracts were ≤ 100 μg/mL
  • Supplementation of banana peel reduced postprandial blood glucose significantly compared to controls
