[ ${\alpha}-Glycosidase$ ] inhibitors slows the velocity of the uptake of monosaccharides in the small intestine by retarding the speed of degradation of disaccharides to monosaccharides, which made it possible to develop ${\alpha}-glycosidase$ inhibitors as the antihyperglycemic (’antihyperglycemic’ means ’blood-glucose-level-lowering’) reagent for the diabetic patients such as acarbose and miglitol. Twenty kinds of ${\alpha}-glycosidase$ inhibitors have been reported to exist in mulberry, Morns alba, and some of them are also found in the silkworm, Bombyx mari, as the result of its daily feeding of mulberry leaves as the sole diet. 1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), one of the most potent ${\alpha}-glycosidase$ inhibitor, is the most abundant among polyhydroxylated alkaloids with ${\alpha}-glycosidase$ inhibiting activity in both M alba and B. mari, therefore considered the antihyperglycemic criterion of the mulberry- or silkworm-based neutroceutical products. DNJ is thought to be accumulated in the body of silkworm because the its concentration in the silkworm body is two to three times as much as that in the mulberry leaves. Eighteen silkworm F1 varieties have been recommended for industrial rearing in Korea by some standards such as pathological strength. DNJ concentration in 18 recommendedwere measured at 3rd day in the 5th instar after lyophilization to determine the varieties that accumulates DNJ in its body most. GeumOk-Jam was the highest in the DNJ concentration of 5.45 mg/gDW among the recommended F1 varieties.
