“…Besides, jackfruit seed starch (JSS) can be developed as novel gastroretentive nanoparticles loaded with metformin ( Jain, Upadhyay, Mishra, & Jain, 2022 ), as well as pioglitazone-loaded JSS-alginate beads with significant hypoglycemic effect ( Nayak, Pal, & Hasnain, 2013 ). Another work was reported by Le et al (2023) , where seed starch derived from jackfruit waste was used to increase lactic acid production by co-fermentation with Lactobacillus plantarum and Bacillus subtili . As for the jackfruit peel, which has also been shown to be a source of polyphenol with strong antioxidant activity, as well as a source of polysaccharides with hypoglycemic activity, with potential applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries ( Jiang et al, 2019 , Wang and Jiang, 2022 , Wang et al, 2022 ).…”
