Inhibition of enzymes involved in carbohydrate and lipids metabolism is an important strategy against type 2 diabetes and obesity, by suppressing dietary sugar and fat absorption. This work reports, for the first time, the in vitro inhibition of alpha-glucosidase, alpha-amylase and lipase by water-cress juice (WJ). Juice was analyzed for qualitative and quantitative composition and in vitro antioxidant activities. Several components were identified, namely hydroxycinnamic acids, flavonols, and other minor water-soluble phytochemicals. Quantitative data revealed a dimer of caffeoylmalic acid (0.73 mg mL(-1) of juice), disinapoylgentibiose (0.64 mg mL(-1)), ferulic acid (0.56 mg mL(-1)), and isorhamnetin-O-sophoroside-O-malonyl(hexoside) (0.38 mg mL(-1)) as the predominant polyphenols. The results showed that WJ had dose-dependent inhibitory potential against targeted enzymes, displaying a more potent inhibitory effect against a-glucosidase relative to alpha-amylase and lipase. WJ can be considered a potential complementary dietary approach to control hyperglycaemia and hyperlipidaemia, through inhibition of digestive enzymes.
