Analysis of the Anti-Cancer Effects of Cincau Extract (Premna oblongifolia Merr) and Other Types of Non-Digestible Fibre Using Faecal Fermentation Supernatants and Caco-2 Cells as a Model of the Human Colon

Abstract: Green cincau (Premna oblongifolia Merr) is an Indonesian food plant with a high dietary fibre content. Research has shown that dietary fibre mixtures may be more beneficial for colorectal cancer prevention than a single dietary fibre type. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of green cincau extract on short chain fatty acid (SCFA) production in anaerobic batch cultures inoculated with human faecal slurries and to compare these to results obtained using different dietary fibre types (pectin, in… Show more

“…The cincau extract contained approximately 46% insoluble non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) and 6% soluble NSPs [ 18 ], and this may explain why its effects on ACF formation mimicked those observed with rats fed insoluble cellulose as the main dietary fibre. Although gram for gram (when green cincau was used as the dietary fibre), only half the amount of insoluble cellulose would have been ingested by rats compared to the cellulose groups.…”

“…Green cincau leaves ( Premna oblongifolia Merr.) were collected from traditional farmers in Indonesia as described in Reference [ 18 ]. Fresh cincau leaves were dried at 50 °C (water content around 12%) and ground into fine powder before being imported into Australia using AQIS permit (IP07024278).…”
