Abstract
Objective: To review the antioxidant and anti-atherosclerotic potential of whole banana, banana flour, and its bioactive compounds.
Materials and methods: A non-systematic review of the literature covering the past 20 years, using the following databases and searching bases: PUBMED/MEDLINE: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/; Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com.br/; and "Literatura Latinoamericana em Ciências da Saúde"/Latin American Literature in Life Sciences [LILACS]: http://lilacs.bvsalud.org/, was done. Studies with incomplete methodology and design were excluded.
Results: Bananas from different species are a good source of carbohydrates, dietary fiber, proteins, polyunsaturated fatty acids, potassium, carotenoids, flavonoids, vitamin C and E, phytosterols, gallocatechin, catechin, and other polyphenols. Some of these compounds play trigger important biological roles as antioxidants or anti-atherosclerotic and cardiovascular protective substances. This review summarizes and explains thirteen protective biological mechanisms of banana bioactive compounds and banana products.
Conclusion: Including banana and its products in dietary menus, in food products and nutraceuticals should improve cardiovascular health of the populations.
目的:综述全香蕉、香蕉粉及其生物活性化合物的抗氧化和抗动脉粥样硬化潜能。材料和方法:对近20年的文献进行非系统综述,使用以下数据库和检索库:PUBMED/MEDLINE: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/;Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com.br/;和“Literatura Latinoamericana em Ciências da Saúde”/拉丁美洲生命科学文学[LILACS]: http://lilacs.bvsalud.org/,完成。排除了方法和设计不完整的研究。结果:不同品种的香蕉是碳水化合物、膳食纤维、蛋白质、多不饱和脂肪酸、钾、类胡萝卜素、类黄酮、维生素C和E、植物甾醇、没食子儿茶素、儿茶素和其他多酚的良好来源。其中一些化合物作为抗氧化剂或抗动脉粥样硬化和心血管保护物质发挥着重要的生物学作用。本文对香蕉生物活性化合物和香蕉制品的13种保护生物学机制进行了综述和阐述。结论:在膳食菜单、食品和保健品中加入香蕉及其制品可改善人群的心血管健康。
