Garbanzo bean(Chickpea): The Best free radical scavenger in Whole food medicine

Whole food(herbal medicine), linking health benefits in the prevention, management, and treatment of diseases has placed an important role in human history over many centuries. The finding of whole food medication by renowned scientists all over the world to replace the single ingredient of Western medicine with little or no side effect has been difficult due to no commercial benefit and patent right to producers.

Garbanzo bean also known as chickpea is an edible legume of genus Cicer and the family Fabaceae, high in protein and minerals. It is one of the earliest cultivated vegetables, native to the Middle East.

Chickpea may be the next generation of antioxidants in scavenging against the development of free radical H2O2, malondialdehyde (MDA) through the reduction of antioxidant stress.



In the study in the identification and characterization of antioxidant peptides from chickpea protein hydrolysates, researchers at the joint study lead by Avda. Padre García insisted that main sequences, ALEPDHR, TETWNPNHPEL, FVPH, and SAEHGSLH, corresponded to legumin, the main seed protein, have shown to contain free radical scavenging and cellular antioxidant activities..


In support of the above study, researchers at Jiangnan University said, " This antioxidant peptide(found in chickpea) efficiently quenched the free radical sources 1,1-diphenyl-2-pycryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl, and superoxide free radicals. The Cu(2+) and Fe(2+) chelating activities were 76.92% and 63.08% at the peptide concentration of 50μgmL(-1), respectively. Furthermore, the inhibition of the Fra.7 on lipid peroxidation was greater than that of α-tocopherol".



Also in the investigation of free radicals scavenging activity, pectin (CAP) extracted from the husk of Cicer arietinum L. exhibited a dose-dependent free radical scavenging activity at a scavenging rate of 29% on DPPH radicals in 1.0 mg/mL

Therefore, the intake of. Chickpea accompanied by a good diet can reduce the risk of free radical-induced certain diseases, such as cancers, arthritis, dementia, etc..
