Overview

This research uncovers bioactivity and flow properties of Commiphora mukul gum, suggesting its potential in obesity nutraceuticals.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the proximate composition and functional properties of Commiphora mukul gum for obesity management.
  • Conducted proximate analysis to assess moisture, fat, protein, and ash content
  • Evaluated flow properties including bulk density and angle of repose
  • Performed phytochemical analysis for phenolic and flavonoid content
  • Carried out in vitro assays to analyze α-amylase and glucose inhibition
  • Proximate analysis showed low moisture (2.07%) and moderate fat (17.43%), protein (9.77%), and ash content (6.73%)
  • Significant phytochemical presence with 6.91 mg GAE/g phenolic content and 1.68 mg QE/g flavonoids
  • In vitro assays indicated substantial dose-dependent α-amylase inhibition with an IC50 of 54.01 μg/ml
  • Findings support the gum's potential as a functional food ingredient targeting obesity and metabolic health.
