The study exhibited a discernible disparity in functional properties and bioactivity between the two pectins (sig < 0.05). The peel and pulp-derived pectins were classified under the high methoxyl pectin category and enriched with flavonoid and phenolic compounds, further showcasing anti-diabetic potential. Such findings underscore the potential of these pectins as therapeutic agents in managing metabolic syndrome. Keywords : α-glucosidase; Antidiabetic; Flavonoid; Methoxyl content; Phenolic content
