Phytochemical Properties, Antioxidant Activity and α- Amilase Inhibitory of Curcuma Caesia

Abstract: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia, which produces free radicals, particularly reactive oxygen species (ROS), through glucose auto-oxidation and glycosylation. Administration of antioxidants and polyphenolic compound components can capture free radicals and reduce oxidative stress. Polyphenols are also able to reduce blood glucose levels by inhibiting the action of amylase enzymes as carbohydrate catabolism so that glucose absorption does not occur. One of the plants t… Show more

“…α-Amylase reduces the elevated level of glucose in the blood after eating by reducing the rate at which starch is converted to sugar. α-Glucosidase inhibitory potential was also increased in the extract, which shows that the plant has the potential to combat hyperglycemia ( Kartini et al, 2023 ). They prevent the digestion of carbohydrates, and they are competitive inhibitors.…”

“…Phenolic compounds are a diverse group of secondary metabolites found in plants. They are known to have various beneficial effects on human health due to their antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties [21]. The total phenolic content (TPC) values for all harumanis leaves extracts were quantified using UV spectroscopy with gallic acid as the test standard.…”

“…Sample extract of four different concentration were analysed to identify the impact of the solvent type and the extract concentration on the antioxidant activity of the coconut waste. The evaluation was conducted by the DPPH method, employing a spectrophotometer, which operates on the principle that the purple colour of DPPH is reduced to light yellow as a result of the donation of hydrogen atoms by the antioxidants, thereby forming stable DPPH radicals [27]. Results in Figure 3 showed that, the radical scavenging activity of coconut shell and husk were concentration dependent.…”
