Micronutrients & recovery
In vitro digestion of jatobá-do-cerrado flour extracts significantly inhibits alpha-amylase and alpha-glycosidase activity, thereby reducing carbohydrate digestion.
This research suggests that jatobá flour contains phenolic compounds that survive digestion and can inhibit key digestive enzymes (amylase/glycosidase) in a lab setting. While promising for glucose management, this is an in vitro finding and does not confirm clinical efficacy in humans.
Os extratos fenólicos de jatobá após a digestão in vitro inibiram significativamente a atividade das enzimas α-amilase (76 e 91%) e α-glicosidase (53 e 77%).
Why this rating
The study is in vitro using cell cultures (Caco-2) and enzyme assays, not human clinical trials.
