ABSTRACT

El frijol mungo (Vigna radiata) es una leguminosa ampliamente producida y consumida en países asiáticos. Esta leguminosa gradualmente ha ido tomando importancia dentro de la gastronomía de occidente, tanto por su valor nutricional como por sus propiedades biológicas y tecnológicas. Dentro de sus propiedades nutricionales se destaca el contenido de proteínas, carbohidratos, fibra y compuestos fenólicos. Las semillas de frijol mungo con un adecuado tratamiento, ya sea de germinación, fermentación o aislamiento, ha demostrado tener propiedades biológicas como la antioxidante, antidiabética, antihipertensiva, antiinflamatoria y anticancerígena. Por otro lado, dentro de las propiedades tecnológicas podemos destacar las propiedades emulsificante, espumante, gelificante, absorción de aceite y de agua. Todas estas propiedades mencionadas hacen que el frijol mungo sea un ingrediente de interés para la industria de alimentos, por lo cual, se hace necesario realizar una revisión de los estudios recientes acerca de los atributos nutricionales, tecno-funcionales y aplicaciones en el área de alimentos.


The mung bean (Vigna radiata) is a legume widely produced and consumed in Asian countries. This legume has gradually gained importance in western gastronomy for its nutritional value and biological and technological properties. Among its nutritional properties, the content of protein, carbohydrates, fibre, and phenolic compounds stands out. With proper treatment, whether it is germination, fermentation or isolation, mung beans have been shown to have biological properties such as antioxidant, antidiabetic, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer. However, we can highlight the properties of emulsifying, foaming, geling, oil, and water absorption within the technological properties. All these properties make the mung bean an ingredient of interest for the food industry, for which it is necessary to review recent studies on the nutritional, techno-functional attributes and applications in the food area.

ABSTRACT

The nutritional and phytochemical compositions of the Shea fruits (Vitellaria paradoxa) were investigated using standard methods. The phytochemical screening revealed the presence of tannins, alkaloids, saponins, steroids, flavonoids, anthraquinones and cardiac glycosides. The proximate analysis revealed that the percentage composition of the fruit was as follows:-moisture (75.4), ash (11.6), crude fat (10.6), crude protein (4.4), crude fibre (9.1), carbohydrate (17.8) and energy value (385.2 kcal/g). The mineral composition (%) of the dried Shea fruit pulp as evaluated in this study consisted of K (1.97), Na (0.47), Ca (5.50), Mg (1.75), P (1.24); Zn (1.81) and Fe (3.01). The results obtained in this study further reiterate the reason why there is high consumption of Shea fruits by farmers in West and Central Africa for both its nutritional and medicinal benefits.

ABSTRACT

Wild edible mushrooms (WEM) have high economic and culi-nary value, due to their nutritional and medical properties. They are regarded as functional foods, as well as of the nutritional properties that they have, it has been shown to have beneficial health effects and may be used in the prevention or treatment of diseases. It's therapeutic action is attributed to the bioactive compounds that they have in their fruiting bodies. Although, globally, it has only been studied for 6% of the fungal diversity There is a wide range of WEM which can be consumed safely and that can be exploited for the development food products, therefore it is necessary to promote future researches with WEM to reveal more Information about their health benefits, because currently available information is still scanty. In this paper the importance of studying the WEM were described, the physical and chemical characteristics and the bioactive compounds of the mostpopular genus of mushroom in the food area were also described in order to know their nutritional and therapeutic benefits, eliminate false beliefs around them and encourage consumption.


Los hongos comestibles silvestres (HCS) tienen un alto valor económico y gastronómico, debido a sus propiedades nutricionales y medicinales. Son considerados como alimentos funcionales, pues además de sus propiedades nutricionales, se ha demostrado efectos benéficos para la salud que pueden ser utilizados en la prevención o tratamiento de enfermedades. Su acción terapéutica es atribuida a los compuestos bioactivos que poseen en sus cuerpos fructíferos. A nivel mundial, sólo se ha estudiado 6% de la diversidad fúngica; existe una amplia gama de HCS que pueden ser consumidos con seguridad y que pueden ser aprovechados para el desarrollo de productos alimenticios, por lo tanto es necesario impulsar futuras investigaciones que revelen mayor información sobre sus propiedades nutricionales y beneficios para la salud, ya que actualmente la información disponible aun es escasa. En el presente artículo se describe la importancia del estudio de estos vegetales, y se detallan las características físicas, químicas y los principios activos de algunos de los géneros de hongos más populares en el ámbito alimenticio con el fin de dar a conocer sus beneficios nutricionales y terapéuticos, así como de eliminar las falsas creencias entorno a ellos.
