*4.2.2 Fermented soybean showed higher inhibition of alpha-glucosidase activity compared to non-fermented ones*

Comparison of control (non-fermented soybeans) to soybeans fermented with mushroom mycelia showed that significant alpha-glucosidase inhibition could be achieved in the fermented soybeans using both pNP-glucoside and maltose (**Figure 7A** and **B**). Yeast alpha-glucosidase inhibition was the highest with *H. ramosum* compared to *G. lucidum* and *H. erinaceum*, while the mammalian alpha-glucosidase inhibition was significantly higher with *G. lucidum* fermentation (**Figure 7A**-**C**).
