Nutritional Value Of Mung Bean Starch

As we all know, mung bean starch has a very high nutritional value and a wide range of uses. For example, mung bean starch has antibacterial and bacteriostatic effects, hypolipidemic effects, anti-tumor effects, and detoxification effects. Mung bean starch contains a considerable amount of oligosaccharides (penttosan, galactan, etc.). These oligosaccharides are difficult to be digested and absorbed because there is no corresponding hydrolase system in the human gastrointestinal tract, so the energy value provided by mung bean starch is lower than that of other grains, and it has the effect of adjuvant therapy for obese and diabetic patients. Moreover, oligosaccharides are the proliferation factors of Bifidobacterium, a beneficial bacteria in the human intestine. Regular consumption of mung bean starch can improve the intestinal flora, reduce the absorption of harmful substances, and prevent certain cancers.
