Wild rice Z. latifolia was collected from Jiangling County, Jingzhou City, Hubei Province, China (30°13′10″ N; 112°34′5″ E), in September 2017. The sample was obtained by manually harvesting mature plant tassels, drying and then dehulling them to obtain the seeds. The seeds were ground to a fine powder in a mechanical grinder and then sieved through a 0.45 mm sifter.
(+)-Catechin (C), (−)-epicatechin (EC), and (−)-epigallocatechin (EGC), DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), α-glucosidase (type I, from Saccharomyces cerevisiae), and pancreatic lipase (type II, from porcine pancreas) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Co., (St. Louis, MO, USA). Ascorbic acid, acarbose, and orlistat were obtained from Macklin Biochemical Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China). Phloroglucinol was from Aladdin Reagents Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China). HPLC and LC–MS grade solvents were bought from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China). The D101 macroporous resin and Sephadex LH-20 were from Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (Beijing, China) and GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences AB (Uppsala, Sweden), respectively. Precoated silica gel plates (GF254, Qingdao Marine Chemical Co., Ltd., Qingdao, China) were used for thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis, and spots were visualized by spraying with anisaldehyde-sulfuric acid agent.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
