Health related functional characteristics and antioxidant potential ofmucilage (dietary fiber) from Zizyphus mauritiana fruits

---

The composition of Zizyphus mauritiana mucilage (ZMM) and several properties related to its nutritional quality were investigated. The ZMMwith good water holding capacity (25.21 g/g), swelling capacity (19.34 mL/g), glucose dialysis retardation index and in vitro amylolysis kineticsindicate that it may have the capability in controlling the diabetes. Structural characteristics of ZMM were analyzed using the Fourier transforminfrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. In addition, the ZMM has the strong antioxidant potency against ABTS (16,587.32 mmol trolox equiv./g), DPPH(5.27 g mucilage/g DPPH), hydroxyl (76.13%) and superoxide (85.12%) radicals due to the presence of polyphenols (25.54 mg GAE/g mucilage).Besides, the ZMM also inhibited the acetylcholine esterase (86.89%), tyrosinase (47.01%), α-amylase (70.13%) and α-glucosidase (87.14%)enzymes. These properties make the crude mucilaginous fraction from Z. mauritiana fruit an excellent candidate of potential nutraceutical andfunctional food.
