This study evaluated the in vitro antidiabetic activity of phenolic compounds extracted from SunGold kiwifruit using a choline chloride\u2013glycerol natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) and their application in yoghurt. NADES and water extracts were assessed for \u03b1-glucosidase and \u03b1-amylase inhibition and glucose diffusion retardation. The extracts were incorporated into yoghurt at different concentrations before or after fermentation, followed by assessment of enzyme-inhibitory activities and phenolic profiles. The NADES extract showed stronger \u03b1-glucosidase and \u03b1-amylase inhibition than the water extract, with IC50 values of 15.331 \u00b1 0.393 and 116.530 \u00b1 2.110 mg\/mL, respectively. It also produced greater glucose diffusion retardation at 180 min (62.84%) than the water extract (37.89%). Fortification enhanced enzyme-inhibitory activities in a concentration-dependent manner, with post-fermentation yoghurt containing 30% NADES extract showing the highest \u03b1-glucosidase and \u03b1-amylase inhibitory activities of 3.615 \u00b1 0.032 mg QE\/g and 111.186 \u00b1 0.541 mg AE\/g, respectively. LC-MS\/MS identified catechin, epicatechin, epigallocatechin, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and gallic acid. These findings demonstrate that the NADES preparation showed greater in vitro carbohydrate-digestive enzyme inhibition and glucose diffusion retardation than the water extract under the tested conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods15173109","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]],"date-time":"2026-09-01T11:33:32Z","timestamp":1788262412000},"page":"3109","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["In Vitro Antidiabetic Activity of Phenolic Compounds from NADES-Extracted SunGold Kiwifruit and Their Fortification in Yoghurt"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-6776-808X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rifqah Azzahra","family":"Naulidia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Science, Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences, Auckland University of Technology, Private Bag 92006, Auckland 1142, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3758-5298","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michelle Ji Yeon","family":"Yoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Science, Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences, Auckland University of Technology, Private Bag 92006, Auckland 1142, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1249","DOI":"10.2337\/dc11-0442","article-title":"Globalization of Diabetes: The Role of Diet, Lifestyle, and Genes","volume":"34","author":"Hu","year":"2011","journal-title":"Diabetes Care"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"112152","DOI":"10.1016\/j.diabres.2025.112152","article-title":"IDF Global Clinical Practice Recommendations for Managing Type 2 Diabetes\u20142025","volume":"222","author":"Ceriello","year":"2025","journal-title":"Diabetes Res.
