Abstract
The effects of anthocyanins on in vitro and in vivo digestibility of potato starch were evaluated in this study. Then the influence of anthocyanins on physicochemical property of potato starch and the activity of starch digestive enzymes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase) were also investigated to understand the mechanism of anthocyanins on starch digestibility. Results have shown that dietary anthocyanins could effectively inhibit the biological activities of α-amylase and α-glucosidase to delay the peak of postprandial blood glucose. Characterization of physicochemical properties of potato starch indicates a structural change due to the presence of anthocyanins, hindering its access to starch digestive enzymes. Among all anthocyanins, lingonberry anthocyanin significantly promoted the retrogradation of potato starch (7.153 % to 25.913 %) and exert promising inhibition on α-amylase and α-glucosidase. Lingonberry anthocyanins mainly interacted with potato starch through hydrogen bonds, which reduce the amount of amylose molecules leached from potato starch and loosen the three-dimensional (3D) network structure of starch gel. This study could provide theoretical evidence for utilization of anthocyanins in diabetic-management function food.
