Abstract

Vinegar is regarded as a fine example of a traditional food that has several medicinal values. It is used as a home-remedy for the management of diabetes and obesity. We investigated how selected vinegar inhibit the digestive enzymes involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. A total of seven types of vinegar were examined as follows: apple cider (ACV) balsamic (BV) brown rice (BRV) distilled white (DWV) malt (MV) nipah palm (NPV) and red wine (RWV) vinegar. In vitro enzyme inhibition tests were performed using -amylase and lipase from porcine pancreas and -glucosidase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In the -amylase assay NPV (IC‚‚ 60.971.71 mg/mL) exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect while RWV (IC‚‚ 786.70.96 mg/mL) showed the lowest inhibitory effect. RWV (IC‚‚ 92.491.51 mg/mL) by contrast had the highest inhibitory effect against -glucosidase and was followed by NPV (IC‚‚ 227.51.06 mg/ mL) and BRV (IC‚‚ 565.12.65 mg/mL). All of the samples showed potent inhibitory effects against pancreatic lipase with MV having the strongest and ACV the lowest effects respectively. IC‚‚ values ranged from 48.45 mg/mL to 399.8 mg/mL. A concentration-dependent inhibitory effect was recorded for each of the vinegar against all three tested enzymes. None of the vinegar however exceeded the effects recorded for the standard drugs. Interestingly a weak correlation was found between total acidity and enzyme inhibition which asserted the presence of bioactive compounds in the vinegar. As a conclusion vinegar can be incorporated into the diet to lower the meals glycaemic index and benefit those at risk of diabetes as well as diabetics.
