Bergamot ( L. var. ) contains different bioactive compounds, and their effects remain unclear. Therefore, the structural and bio-function of bergamot dietary fiber were investigated. A sequential extraction procedure was utilized to obtain soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) from bergamot. The main monosaccharide in SDF and IDF is arabinose. SDF had a porous structure, which enhanced the water and oil holding capacity, as well as the cholesterol and glucose adsorption capacity, which was superior to that of IDF. In db/db diabetic mice, SDF and IDF regulated glucose tolerance and controlled blood glucose levels. Reduction of serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in SDF and IDF could be observed. In summary, SDF and IDF from bergamot effectively promoted health in patients with diabetes.
佛手柑（L. var.）含有不同的生物活性化合物，其作用尚不清楚。因此，对佛手柑膳食纤维的结构和生物功能进行了研究。采用连续提取法从佛手柑中获得可溶性膳食纤维（SDF）和不溶性膳食纤维（IDF）。SDF和IDF中的主要单糖是阿拉伯糖。SDF具有多孔结构，增强了其持水持油能力以及胆固醇和葡萄糖吸附能力，优于IDF。在db/db糖尿病小鼠中，SDF和IDF调节葡萄糖耐量并控制血糖水平。可以观察到SDF和IDF能降低血清总胆固醇、甘油三酯和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇。总之，佛手柑中的SDF和IDF有效促进了糖尿病患者的健康。
