- Data are presented as Mean ± SEM (n = 4). Data represent the millimoles of glucose bound by each gram of the CA extract at different glucose concentrations (5-200mmol/l). Glucose bound = (glucose concentration of original solution - glucose concentration when the adsorption reached equilibrium) × volume of solution ÷ weight of dietary fibre. Mean values in the same column marked with different letters (a, b, and c) were significantly different at p < 0.05 (Values which were found to be statistically similar to the positive control were denoted as “c”; they present strong fibre binding. Values denoted by “a” and “b” were statistically different from both the positive control and themselves; these values represent non significant fibre binding) (derived from repeated-measures ANOVA and adjusted using Bonferroni correction).
