Popis: This study evaluated the potential antioxidant and antidiabetic properties in vitro of four millet grain varieties cultivated in South Korea. The free fractions were tested for their total antioxidant capacity using 2,2&prime
azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS+) and 2,2&prime
diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assays, followed by &alpha
glucosidase, &alpha
amylase, and advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) formation inhibition assays. The total phenolics, flavonoids, and condensed tannins in the free fractions ranged from 107.8 to 136.4 mg ferulic acid equivalent (FAE)/100 g, 101.3 to 115.8 mg catechin equivalent (CE)/100 g, and 17.65 to 59.54 mg catechin equivalent (CE)/100 g, respectively. Finger Italian millet had the highest total phenolic content (136.4 mg FAE/100 g) and flavonoid content (115.8 mg CE/100 g). Barnyard and finger Italian millet showed the highest DPPH (IC50 = 359.6 µ
g/mL and 436.25 µ
g/mL, respectively) and ABTS radical scavenging activity (IC50 = 362.40 µ
g/mL and 381.65 µ
g/mL, respectively). Similarly, finger Italian millet also exhibited significantly lower IC50 values for the percentage inhibition of &alpha
glucosidase (18.07 µ
g/mL) and &alpha
amylase (10.56 µ
g/mL) as compared with acarbose (IC50 = 59.34 µ
g/mL and 27.73 µ
g/mL, respectively) and AGEs formation (33.68 µ
g/mL) as compared with aminoguanidine (AG) (52.30 µ
g/mL). All eight phenolic compounds identified in finger Italian millet were flavonoids, with flavanols being the predominant subclass. Taken together, millet flavonoids play important roles in the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes, and hence finger Italian millet has the potential to be developed as a functional food.
