Whole food(herbal medicine), linking health benefits in the prevention, management, and treatment of diseases has played 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 pattern right to producers.

Garbanzo bean also is 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 with abundant bioactive phenolic compounds along with the relevant antioxidant capacities may be considered as a functional ingredient of antioxidant for their beneficial health effects, according to the study of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM)(1).

Gallic acid, one of the major ingredient of Phenolic profile and a phytochemical found abundantly in tea, mango, strawberries, rhubarb, soy, etc. has found to process bioactive phenolic compounds in radical scavenging effects against DPPH, nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide (SO) radicals as well as inhibiting certain types of cancers(2).

Ferulic acid, another Phenolic profile found abundantly in chickpea, cinnamon, aloe, flaxseed hull, etc. has also found to consist strong antioxidant effect and may be used as potential sources of functional food ingredients(3).

Other in ingredients of the Phenolic profile such as  Quercetin(9)(10), Catechin(6)(7), Resveratrol(8)(9),....  also found to process strong antioxidant effects in free radical scavenging as well as protection against the development of many types of cancer.

In fact, sodium selenite and germination on the sprouting of chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) may increase the antioxidant capacities of high Se content (2.14 μg/g dry weight) and a moderate high content of isoflavones (601.56 μg biochanin A/g dry weight and 578.11 μg formononetin/g dry weight). According to the Taishan Medical University, Se-enriched chickpea sprouts may serve as a convenient dietary source of Se and of isoflavones, including formononetin and biochanin A(4).

In support of above, in a study of sodium metavanadate and germination on the sprouting of chickpeas, researchers at the same university said, " The addition of sodium metavanadate significantly increased V content in CS in a dose-dependent manner. The highest V content (1.52 mg/g) in CS was observed when germination was carried out in the NaVO(3) solution with 1,200 mg/L NaVO(3) concentration. Chickpea seeds germinated in 50 ∼200 mg/L NaVO(3) solutions for 6 days at 28 °C showed a higher germination rate (>99%%) and a higher content of isoflavones including formononetin and biochanin A than those obtained in NaVO(3) solutions with other concentration in the same germination conditions."(5).

Taking altogether, intake of one portion of chickpea may reduce the risk of free radical causes of diseases, such as chronic inflammatory diseases, cancers..... For more information, please visit antioxidant  research and studies at https://kylejnorton.blogspot.ca/p/blog-page_24.html
