Mung beans are rich in nutrition. The grain contains protein 20-24%, fat 0.5- 1.5%, carbohydrate 55-654%, various minerals and vitamins. Protein contains various essential amino acids. Mung bean is a heatstroke prevention drink, which can be made into various cakes, vermicelli and vermicelli, and brewed into mung bean Daqu and soju.
1, antibacterial and bacteriostatic
(1) Some components in mung bean have direct antibacterial effect.
(2) indirectly exert antibacterial effect by improving immune function.
2. Reduce blood lipids
The results showed that the structure of phytosterol contained in mung bean was similar to that of cholesterol, and phytosterol competed with cholesterol for esterifying enzyme, so that it could not be esterified, thus reducing the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine, and reducing the serum cholesterol content by promoting the alienation of cholesterol in the liver and/or preventing the biosynthesis of cholesterol. In addition, soybean globulin has been proved to have the effect of lowering serum cholesterol, and whether mung bean globulin has the same effect is worth discussing.
3. Anti-tumor
Some experiments have found that mung beans have a certain preventive effect on lung cancer and liver cancer induced by morphine and sodium nitrite in mice. Another experiment confirmed that phenylalanine ammonia-lyase extracted from mung bean had obvious inhibitory effect on mouse leukemia L 1 2 1 cells and human leukemia K 56 2 cells, and the inhibitory effect was obviously enhanced with the increase of enzyme dosage and the extension of action time. After the same treatment for 48 hours, the inhibition rates of 0.7 U/mL enzyme were 52% and 14. 1%, respectively. When the enzyme was increased to 3.5U/ml, it could reach 77. 1% and 85.8% respectively, while the inhibition rates of 0.2 0%, 1.0%, 2.0%, 4.0%, 6.0% and 1.0% were 25 respectively.
Step 4 detoxify
Mung beans are rich in protein, and raw green soybean milk soaked in raw mung beans has a high protein content, which can protect gastrointestinal mucosa if taken orally. Mung bean protein, tannins and flavonoids can combine with organophosphorus pesticides, mercury, arsenic and lead compounds to form a precipitate, which reduces or loses toxicity and is not easily absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. Many bioactive substances in mung beans have antioxidant effects, and whether antioxidant effects can reduce the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of organophosphorus pesticides in the treatment of organophosphorus pesticide poisoning needs further discussion.
