Grapefruit (G) parts contain abundant phenolic acids and fl avonoids (PPNs and FLVs). The wastes created from exocarps,mesocarps (G wastes, GW) and waste blanching water (WBW) lead to a considerable loss of PPNs and FLVs. Here, weassessed Buntan (CB), Buntan Hayata (CBH), and Peiyu (CP) cultivars and observed considerable amounts of PPNs andFLVs. The ethanolic extracts of GW (GWE) and WBW contained gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, chlorogenic acid, caff eicacid, ferulic acid, coumaric acid, naringin, hesperidin, diosmin, quercetin, hesperetin, nobiletin, and tangeretin (GWC). GWEhas previously been reported to be a relatively active antioxidant, anti-infl ammatory (based on the expression of TNF-αin Raw264.7 cells), antihypertensive, and anti-hyperglycemic compound. The IC 50 values for antihyperglycemic activitywith WBW for α-amylase were as follows: CB (27.96 ± 0.03 mg/mL) < CP (28.13 ± 0.19 mg/mL) < CBH (41.60 ± 0.16 mg/mL), and those for α-glucosidase were CB (1.80 ± 0.03 mg/mL) < CP (2.97 ± 0.29 mg/mL) < CBH (9.10 ± 0.51 mg/mL). GWC upregulated Glut4 in HepG2 cells, as well as the insulin secretion capability, and intracellular levels in RIN-m5Fcells, and it downregulated DPP4 in HepG2 cells. The IC 50 values for the angiotensin-converting enzyme activity were:CBP (5.10 ± 0.02 mg/mL) < CB (7.24 ± 0.65 mg/mL) < CP (8.60 ± 2.03 mg/mL). Our results indicate that PPNs and FLVspresent in GW are worth reclaiming.
