This study aimed to investigate the improvement effect of 5% (w/w) mung bean (Phaseolus aureus L.) on lipid composition and protein concentration in hyperlipidemic rats. Seven-week-old male (Sprague-Dawley) rats were divided into four groups (n=6, each), and fed experimental diets containing mung bean meal [basal diet+5% (w/w) mung bean (BM), basal-hyperlipidemic diet+5% (w/w) mung bean (BHM)], basal-hyperlipidemic diet (BH), and control (basal diet, BD). Lipid composition in the mung bean diet groups (BM and BHM) evidenced significant reductions in serum total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, atherosclerotic index, cardiac risk factor, triglyceride, phospholipid, free cholesterol, cholesteryl ester, blood glucose, nonesterified fatty acid, and an elevation in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The serum albumin/globulin ratio was increased in mung bean diet-supplemented rats compared to that in hyperlipidemic rats (p < 0.05). Total calcium, phosphorus and potassium concentrations in sera were higher in the BM, BHM and BD groups than in the BH group. Concentrations of sodium and chlorine in sera were lower in the mung bean diet-supplemented groups than in the hyperlipidemic group. The in vivo experiments showed that ingestion of mung bean was effective in improving lipid composition, protein concentration, and blood glucose.

This study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical properties of mung bean starch and the quality characteristics of mung bean starch gels supplemented with gelatin and isolated soy protein (0, 2, 5%) during storage at $5^{\circ}C$ for 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours. The swelling power of mung bean starch supplemented with gelatin did not significantly change, whereas those supplemented with isolated soy protein (ISP) significantly increased. The solubility of mung bean starch supplemented with gelatin and ISP, however, significantly increased with increasing concentration. In addition, the soluble amylose and soluble carbohydrate of mung bean starch supplemented with gelatin and ISP significantly decreased with increasing concentration. In terms of pasting properties measured by the Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA), the pasting temperature of mung bean starch supplemented with gelatin and ISP was not significantly different, whereas peak viscosity, minimum viscosity, final viscosity, breakdown, and consistency decreased. DSC thermograms showed that the onset temperature of mung bean starch supplemented with gelatin and ISP did not significantly change, whereas the enthalpy increased with the addition of 5% ISP. The lightness (L) and redness (a) of mung bean starch gels supplemented with gelatin, ISP, and without additives increased during cold storage, whereas the yellowness (b) decreased. The addition of gelatin and ISP suppressed changes in L, a and b of mung bean starch gel during cold storage. Synereses of mung bean starch gel supplemented with gelatin and ISP was lower than that without additives, with the addition of gelatin suppressing synereses more than ISP. The addition of gelatin and ISP also suppressed increases in hardness, chewiness, and gumminess of mung bean starch gels during cold storage. In the sensory evaluation, the addition of gelatin and ISP suppressed increases in hardness and brittleness of mung bean starch gels during cold storage. The addition of 2%, 5% gelatin and 2% ISP also suppressed a decrease in the overall acceptability of mung bean starch gels during 24-48 hr cold storage. Thus, the addition of 2-5% gelatin and 2% ISP to mung bean starch is appropriate for suppressing the quality deterioration of 24-48 hr cold-stored mung bean starch gels.

This study was undertaken establish the relationship between trypsin inhibitor in raw soybean and antinutritional effect of raw legumes. 1) Among legumes produced in Korea, Glycine max contains a relatively high amount of protein(higher than 40%) compared with kindey bean, sword bean and mung bean and, furthermore, soybean which contains a high amount of protein possesses high trypsin inhibitory activity. 2) Disc electrophoretic pattern exhibited pattern exhibited that the crude protein preparation from Glycine max produced about 9-12 protein bands, and the pattern of electrophoretic mobility was very similar to each other. However, only a few protein bands were observed from the crude protein preparation of yard long bean, sword bean, adzuki bean, mung bean and rice adzuki. From the eluate of the sliced gel, it was confirmed that among those bands, only the fastest moving band contains trypsin inhibitory activity. 3) In chicks fed the normal diet the body weight was increased steady from one week and reached to 40% increase for three weeks but in chick fed raw bean diet, there was no body weight gain until two weeks feeding and only 10-20% of body weight gain was observed at the end of three week feeding. On the other hand, in chicks fed raw bean diet the weight of pancreatic tissue per 100g body weight was increased to about two-fold for two or three weeks but there was no change in liver weight. 4) In the case of amylase secretion from the pancreatic fragment, very strong stimulation on amylase secretion from pancreatic tissue of chicks fed a normal diet was produced by one unit of cholecystokin-pancreozymin. However, no stimulation was observed from pancreatic fragment of chick fed raw bean diet.

Some minor Korean beans including red bean, mung bean and kidney bean were subjected to proximate analysis, fractionation by the solubility method and polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis of proteins to obtain the following results. 1) Proximate composition of the beans showed that fat content was less than 1%, carbohydrate was about 60% and protein content was in the range of $20{\sim}25%$. 2) Total globulin content of the proteins was $46{\sim}59%$, a little lower than in soybean, in the order of mung bean> kidney bean> red bean. Albumin content was comparable in kidney bean, and lower in red bean and mung bean as compared with that in soybean. Glutelin content was relatively higher, being in the range of $10{\sim}19%$ and in the order of red bean> mung bean> kidney bean. 3) According to the electrophoretic pattern, total protein fractions extracted with pH 7.6 buffer from red bean, mung bean and kidney bean showed 9.12 and 11 bands, respectively, whereas those extracted with pH 4.8 buffer showed 13, 13 and 12 bands, respectively. Water extracts of red bean, mung bean and kidney bean showed 10, 8 and 9 bands, respectively, while albumin fractions showed 8, 9 and 7 bands and globulin fractions, 4 bands in all of three beans. The band having a Rm value of $0.5{\sim}0.7$ in the globulin fraction from three beans was not observed in the water extract and appears to be specific to water insoluble globulin.

To standardize the recipes for healthy fast food market potentiality, a sensory acceptability analysis, instrumental texture analysis and nutritional evaluation were performed on Korean style mung bean pancake (MPC) and modified MPC containing squid meat and soybean. Optimal ingredient formulation was revealed to be 34% mung bean, 49% pork and 17% vegetables for traditional MPC, and 21% pork, 66% squid meat and 13% soybean for modified MPC, using response surface methodology. Flavor and hardness correlated highly with overall acceptability, rather than appearance and color of traditional MPC. Higher squid levels raised adhesiveness, springiness and resilience of modified MPC, but the higher soybean levels decreased these textural attributes. Protein, lipid and total calories of modified MPC were lower than those of traditional MPC. Degree of gelatinization of modified MPC was superior to traditional MPC.

The change of quality and physicochemical characteristics of mung-bean flours after germination and roasting treatment were evaluated. The moisture content of the roasted mung-bean flours decreased significantly according to the roasting temperatures and times, and the crude ash, protein and fat contents increased. The lightness of the roasted mung-bean flours significantly decreased, and the redness and yellowness increased. The water binding capacity of the roasted mung-bean flours without and with germination were 151.71 and 192.77% at $240^{\circ}C$ for 20 min, respectively. The water solubility index and swelling power decreased with an increase in roasting temperatures and times. The phenolic compounds and radical scavenging activity of the roasted mung-bean flours increased with an increase in the roasting temperatures and times. The total polyphenol contents of the roasted mung-bean flours without and with germination were 4.81~7.71 and 4.22~5.63 mg GAE/g, and the total flavonoid contents were 2.46~3.05 and 2.45~2.87 mg CE/g, respectively. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of the roasted mung-bean flours, without and with germination, were 106.83~376.08 and 174.41~346.70 mg TE/100 g, and the ABTS radical scavenging activity was 251.67~534.31 and 274.39~430.02 mg TE/100 g, respectively. As a result, it is necessary to set quality standards for each application considering the quality and antioxidant properties of the roasted mung-bean flours.

The properties of mung bean were investigated depending on hydrolysis condition. The results showed that enzyme treatments (${\alpha}$-amylase and protease each at 0.1% (w/w)) by varying hydrolysis temperature showed better properties than non-pretense treatment (control group). The treatment with 0.08% ${\alpha}$-amylase was best for optimum hydrolysis of mung bean starch The treatment using a mixture of 0.08% (w/w) ${\alpha}$-amylase and 0.12% (w/w) protease was best for optimum hydrolysis of meg bean protein. The effects of Hydrolysis time of mung bean showed that the optimum time was 60 and 90 min and there fore the optimum time was set at 60 min. These result showed that the best hydrolysis conditions of mung bean were the treatment at $60^{\circ}C$ for 60 min using a mixture of 0.08%(w/w) ${\alpha}$-amylase and 0.12% (w/w) pretense, with the sugar level shown at $5.8^{\circ}Brix$, reducing sugar at 2,022.13 mg% and crude protein at 7,666.17 mg%.

The soluble acid invertase ($\beta$-D-fructofuranoside fructohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.26) was isolated and characterized from the hypocotyls of mung bean (Phaseolus radiatus L.). The enzyme was purified to apparent homogeneity by consecutive step using diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-cellulose anion exchange, Concanavalin (Con) A affinity and Sephacryl S-300 chromatography. The overall purification was about 148-fold with a yield of about 15%. The finally purified enzyme exhibited a specific activity of about 139 $\mu$mol of glucose produced mg-1 protein min-1 at pH 5.0 and appeared to be a single protein by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and nondenaturing PAGE. The enzyme had the native molecular weight of 70 kD and subunit molecular weight of 70 kD as estimated by Sephadex G-200 chromatography and SDS-PAGE, respectively, suggesting that the enzyme was composed of a monomeric protein. On the other hand, the enzyme appeared to be a glycoprotein containing N-linked high mannose oligosaccharide chain on the basis of its ability to bind to the immobilized C on A. The enzyme had a Km for sucrose of 1.8 mM at pH 5.0 and maximum activity around pH 5.0. The enzyme showed highest enzyme activity with sucrose as substrate, but the activity was slightly measured with raffinose and cellobise. No activity was measured with maltose and lactose. These results indicate the soluble acid invertase is a $\beta$-fructofuranosidase.

Effects of polyamines on chlorophyll and protein content, and $\delta$-aminolevulinate dehydratase(ALAD) activity were investigated during the greening of mung bean cotyledons. Polyamines stimulated chlorophyll formation in greening cotyledons, and this effect was enhanced by KCl. The changes in protein content were similar to the changes for chlorophyll content. The excision entailed an increase in ALAD activity. Then a decrease appeared after 48 h incubation on water in the dark. It was more precocious in the light, but was accelerated when the cotyledons were illuminated after a dark preincubation. Putrescine had little effect on ALAD activity in the dark. In the light, putrescine prevented the decrease in ALAD activity and enhanced this activity when a dark preincubation preceded illumination. KCl had a slight stimulating effect in the dark, but was uneffective in the light. The combination putrescine＋KCl was devoid of stimulating effect. The results obtained suggest that plastid development of mung bean cotyledons during greening was affected by polyamines and light and that polyamines may play a role in the regulation of plastid development.
