Abstract:
In order to investigate the effect of lactic fermentation on the basic nutrients and biological activity of
Camellia pollen,
Camellia pollen was summitted to lactic fermentation,followed by analyses of the basic nutrient and
α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The changes of basic nutrients,
α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and the removal of hydroxyl free ability before and after fermentation were determined by fermentation under the combined action of
Streptococcus thermophilus and
Lactobacillus plantarum. The result showed,the fermentation end-points of
Camellia pollen were 72 h,after fermentation the content of total sugar and fat were reduced,whereas ash,protein,polyphenol,and flavonoid content significantly improved to different extents,and the IC
50 for inhibiting
α-glucosidase decreased from 49.09 mg/mL to 38.79 mg/mL. The EC
50of hydroxyl dissociation was increased from 4.49 mg/mL to 5.78 mg/mL. This study provide theoretical basis for the development of hypoglycemic health food products with fermentation products of
Camellia pollen.
