3.3. Advanced Glycation Endproducts Formation Inhibition Activities
The inhibition measured by BSA-glucose varied significantly among different beans (Table 3).
Common bean had the highest inhibition (86.67%), followed by mung bean (74.84%). The inhibition
measured by BSA-MGO showed the same trends as did BSA-glucose method. Common bean
exhibited the highest inhibition (74.06%), followed by mung bean (72.67%). Beans have been
recommended as suitable foods for diabetic patients in the past mainly based on their high fiber and
protein contents [28].
