芸豆中的大分子功能组分及其应用研究进展

Research Progress on Functional Macromolecules of Kidney Beans and Their Applications

摘要:

芸豆是我国重要的豆类作物，是一种兼具食用和药用价值的植物基资源。芸豆蛋白质属于全价蛋白，且富含具有降糖和免疫活性的功能糖蛋白组分，芸豆同时含有丰富的多糖类物质，具有调节肠道生理功能等作用。近年来，以芸豆为基础的减肥食品备受关注，植物基膳食模式的兴起，引起了国内外学者对芸豆这一宝贵豆类资源展开深入研究。作者就不同品种芸豆的大分子组分的结构特性、物质组成、生理功能、加工特性等展开了介绍，同时对芸豆大分子间的相互作用及功能特性进行了概述，旨在为芸豆大分子的健康调控机制研究提供理论基础，为新型营养健康食品开发提供参考。

Abstract:

Kidney bean is an important legume in China and is also plant-based resource with highly edible and medicinal value. Kidney bean proteins are complete proteins, which are rich in functional glycoprotein with hypoglycemic or immune activity. Kidney bean also contains abundant polysaccharides with intestinal physiological regulation and other functions. In recent years, the development of kidney bean-based diet foods has attracted much attention, and the rise of plant-based diet style has aroused intensive researches on this valuable bean resource conducted by domestic and foreign scholars. The structural characteristics, substance compositions, physiological functions and processing properties of macromolecular components in the different varieties of kidney beans were introduced. The interactions and functional characteristics of macromolecules in kidney beans were also summarized to provide the theoretical basis for the study of health regulatory mechanism of kidney bean macromolecules and to provide references for the development of novel nutritional and healthy foods.
