Description
Lidija Jakobek, Ivica Strelec, and Petra Matić report a 2026 lab study on chokeberry compounds and blood sugar control. Chokeberries hold phenolic compounds that can slow the gut enzymes that break down starch and sugar. The team ran a lab model of digestion, adding plain cellulose fiber at three levels, then tested how well the compounds still blocked those enzymes.
Most compounds were freed in the stomach stage, and fiber raised that share while lowering the share freed later in the gut stage. After digestion, the compounds still blocked both enzymes. Fiber boosted the block on one enzyme and left the other unchanged. Since the model is lab-only, the authors call for feeding studies to confirm the effect.
