The beneficial role of the Mediterranean diet in the prevention of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and obesity, is well-recognized. In this context, are considered important vegetables due to several evidences of their health promoting effects that are associated to bioactive compounds present in the edible parts of the plants. In this review, the mechanisms of action and the factors regulating the levels of the bioactive compounds in have been discussed. In addition, the impact of industrial and domestic processing on the amount of these compounds have been considered, in order to identify the best conditions that are able to preserve the functional properties of the products before consumption. Finally, the main strategies used to increase the content of health-promoting metabolites in plants through biofortification have been analyzed.
地中海饮食在预防慢性病方面的有益作用,包括心血管疾病、糖尿病和肥胖,已得到广泛认可。在这种情况下,豆类被认为是重要的蔬菜,因为有多项证据表明它们具有促进健康的作用,这与植物可食用部分中存在的生物活性化合物有关。在本综述中,讨论了豆类生物活性化合物水平的调节机制和作用机制。此外,还考虑了工业和家庭加工对这些化合物含量的影响,以确定在食用前能够保持豆类产品功能特性的最佳条件。最后,分析了通过生物强化来增加豆类植物中促进健康的代谢物含量的主要策略。
