A Review Article published in 2022 in the journal Molecules found that Adzuki beans' high lysine content, antioxidative, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties highlight their dual-use as a nutritious food source and a therapeutic agent for various diseases. The study methodology involved comprehensive analysis of the nutritional profile and health benefits offered by adzuki beans. Different varieties of the beans were tested to assess disparities in the contents and compositions of starch, protein, fat, polysaccharides, and polyphenols. The processing characteristic components such as isolated protein and heated flavor were also examined to aid in the development of adzuki bean-based food products.
The results showed that adzuki beans have diverse benefits both in terms of nutrition and health. Their proteins were found to be rich in lysine, an essential amino acid, compensating for its shortage in the everyday diet typically containing cereals. The antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties are capable of enhancing human health in multiple ways. Adzuki beans and their extracts were found to hold potential in preventing and treating conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, obesity, and even cognitive decline from a high-fat diet. This discovery highlighted the usefulness of adzuki beans as not just food but also a practical ingredient in medicinal treatments.
