Burdock fructooligosaccharide as an α-glucosidase inhibitor and its antidiabetic effect on high-fat diet and streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice

Burdock roots are rich in inulin-type burdock fructooligosaccharide (BFO). However, the antidiabetic effect of BFO remains unknown. In this study, BFO was purified using DEAE-52 and G-75. The purity of BFO was 99.4%, the peak-average molecular weight (Mp) was 2958 Da. BFO inhibited α-glucosidase act...
