Abstract
Alpha amylase inhibitors are a class of natural substances that inhibit the breakdown and absorption of alpha starches. By inhibiting the activity of Alpha amylase in the gut, they prevented the hydrolysis and digestion of starch in food, thus reducing the absorption of sugar by human body and lowering the sugar content in human blood. This article mainly introduced the plant-derived alpha-amylase inhibition and action mechanism. And the preparation process of plant-derived alpha-amylase inhibitors was introduced in detail. The alpha-amylase inhibitors that have appeared in the market so far were mostly protein inhibitors extracted from plants such as white kidney beans, while other non-protein inhibitors, such as polyphenolic flavonoids, alkaloids and other compounds, are in the research stage and have not been applied in natural foods and drugs. Alpha amylase inhibitors were not only able to reduce blood sugar and lose weight in humans, but also beneficial to insect prevention and control, which had a huge potential for development.
