Antioxidative and digestive enzymes inhibitory activities of 27 edible plants

The contents of total phenol and flavonoid 27 edible plants as well their antioxidative digestive enzymes inhibitory activities were evaluated. content the ranged from 1.28-46.80 mg gallic acid equivalent/g. DPPH, ABTS reducing power assay explored that Rubus idaeus Linn, Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn. Crataegus pinnatifida Bge. exhibited stronger antioxidant capacity among plants. 4 showed percentage more than 50% on pancreatic lipase. 10 α-glucosidase. 3 simultaneously possess significant lipase α-glucosidase, which Alpinia officinarum Hance, Ginkgo biloba leaves Vitis vinifera Seeds. Strong positive correlation between found. However, activity was less correlated with flavonoids content.
