Several fruit like cherry, pear and sweet tamarind inhibited
HSA glycation better than inhibited collagen glycation, this
probably due to the difference in amino acid content in each
protein or the difference in polyphenol content of the samples.
Kokila et al. found Pomegranate exhibited glycation
inhibition potential because of its free radical scavenging
properties and may also inhibit fructosamine formation by
modifying the amino or carbonyl groups in the Maillard
reaction. Pomegranate fruit extract (PFE) may act as an
antioxidant by supplying hydrogen; hydrogen combines with
radicals to terminate the radical chain reactions, although the
exact mechanism is unknown 5).
