In this study, seven exotic/indigenous medicinal plants of Mauritius, namely Coix lacryma‐jobi (Poaceae), Aegle marmelos (Rutaceae), Artocarpus heterophyllus (Moraceae), Vangueria madagascariensis (Rubiaceae), Azadirachta indica (Meliaceae), Eriobotrya japonica (Rosaceae) and Syzigium cumini (Myrtaceae) were studied for possible effects on starch breakdown by α‐amylase in vitro. The results showed that only Artocarpus heterophyllus significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited α‐amylase activity in vitro… Expand
