    Abstract:
    Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) is a potential source of protein with ideal amino acid profiles which its bioactive compounds can be improved during germination and gastrointestinal digestion. The present investigation studies the impact of germination for 24 hr and simulated gastrointestinal digestion on α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of the quinoa protein and bioactive peptides against the novel homologue of human α-glucosidase, PersiAlpha-GL1. The sprouted quinoa after gastroduodenal digestion was the most effective α-glucosidase inhibitor showing 81.10% α-glucosidase inhibition at concentration 4 mg/ml with the half inhibition rate (IC50 ) of 0.07 mg/ml. Based on the kinetic analysis, both the germinated and non-germinated samples before and after digestion were competitive-type inhibitors of α-glucosidase. Results of this study showed the improved α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of the quinoa bioactive peptides after germination and gastrointestinal digestion and highlighted the potential of metagenome-derived PersiAlpha-GL1 as a novel homologue of the human α-glucosidase for developing the future anti-diabetic drugs. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of germination and gastrointestinal digestion of the quinoa protein and bioactive peptides on α-glucosidase inhibitory activity against the novel PersiAlpha-GL1. Metagenomic data were used to identify the novel α-glucosidase structurally and functionally homologue of human intestinal. The results showed the highest inhibition on PersiAlpha-GL1 by a germinated quinoa after gastroduodenal digestion and confirmed the potential of PersiAlpha-GL1 to enhance the effectiveness of the anti-diabetic drugs for industrial application.
