Abstract

Mesoamerica is the center of origin of a great number of food crops that nowadays are part of a healthy diet. Pre-Columbian civilizations utilized more than 90% of these foods as ingredient or in main dishes, as well as for remedies and religious ceremonies. Since several years ago, Mesoamerican foods have been recognized by their outstanding concentration of bioactive compounds, including, phenolic compounds, pigments, essential fatty acids, amino acids, peptides, carbohydrates and vitamins, which provide a great number of health benefits. As a result of their unique composition, these ancient crops have several positive effects, such as hypoglycemic, antioxidant, anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory, anti-ageing, neuroprotective, anti-diarrheal, and anti-hypercholesterolemic capacity. Hence, this review is focused mainly in the anti-obesity and antioxidant potential of some of the most cultivated, harvested, as well as commercialized and consumed, food crops native of Mesoamerica, like, nopal and its fruit (Opuntia ficus indica spp.), chia (Salvia hispanica L.), pumpkin (Cucurbita spp.) and cacao (Theobroma cacao).

部分中美洲作物--抗肥胖潜力与健康促进。综述。
中美洲是大量粮食作物的原产地,这些作物如今已成为健康饮食的一部分。前哥伦布文明将这些食物中的 90% 以上用作配料或主菜,也用于治疗和宗教仪式。早在几年前,中美洲食品就因其富含生物活性化合物而得到认可,这些化合物包括酚类化合物、色素、必需脂肪酸、氨基酸、肽、碳水化合物和维生素等,对健康大有裨益。由于其独特的成分,这些古老作物具有多种积极作用,如降血糖、抗氧化、抗肥胖、抗炎、抗衰老、神经保护、止泻和降胆固醇。因此,本综述主要关注中美洲原产的一些最常种植、收获、商业化和消费的粮食作物的抗肥胖和抗氧化潜力,如罂粟及其果实(Opuntia ficus indica spp.)、奇亚籽(Salvia hispanica L.)、南瓜(Cucurbita spp.)和可可(Theobroma cacao)。
