Legumes are very rich in phytochemicals and in particular isoflavones. In this work we have developed techniques to get the brewing craft beers made with the addition of Umbrian legumes (chickling and lentils), to verify if the healthy and nutritional characteristic of these product change. The results obtained show that probably during the processes of cooking and fermentation a transfer of the biologically active substances from the “special ingredients” to the finished beer takes place. From healthy and nutritional characterization of the beers important results emerged: an interesting mineral profile and a large content of molecules with antioxidant activity like phenolic compounds (350–630 mg/L). It should also be noted that within the group of phenolic compounds present in these beers were also found interesting amount of isoflavones in particular genistin and daidzin, which in addition to being powerful antioxidants have other beneficial effects and therefore can act in the prevention of cancer, inflammatory, cardiovascular, postmenopausal, cognitive, and immune diseases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
