Aqueous extracts and suspensions of restructured pork formulated with Undaria pinnatifida, Himanthalia elongata and Porphyra umbilicalis distinctly affect the in vitro α-glucosidase activity and glucose diffusion

Seaweed antidiabetic properties have been linked to changes in carbohydrate digestion and absorption. The effect of aqueous extracts and suspensions of restructured pork (RP) with 5 g/100 g of Porphyra umbilicalis (Nori), Undaria pinnatifida (Wakame) or Himanthalia elongata (Sea spaghetti) on α-glucosidase activity and glucose diffusion were in vitro tested. α-Glucosidase inhibition type was also assayed. Sea spaghetti-RP suspensions displayed,...
