Inhibition activity of extracts from Aster scaber on α amylase
Sample | αAmylase inhibition activity (%) |
Phenolic content (μg/mL) |
50 | 100 | 150 | 200 |
Water extracts | 2.00±0.14a1) | 2.86±0.27a | 9.71±0.11b | 23.81±0.84c |
Ethanol extracts | 6.67±0.12a | 48.57±1.05b | 76.00±2.12c | 88.57±0.97d |
Acarbose | 17.42±2.31a | 20.33±1.72b | 26.64±1.92c | 40.03±2.31d |
Mean±SD (n=6), means with different superscript letters within level are significantly different at p<0.05 by Duncan's multiple range tests. Acarbose was used for control.
