Variations of Major Flavonoids, Nutritional Components, and Antioxidant Activities in Mung Beans (Vigna radiate L.) of Different Seed Weights.

ABSTRACT: This study examined the levels of major flavonoids, nutritional components, total secondary metabolite contents, and antioxidant activities in 136 mung bean accessions and statistically analyzed the effect of seed weight difference on each. Vitexin and isovitexin were detected in all the mung bean accessions, with isovitexin being in a higher concentration regardless of seed weight difference. The contents of total protein and total starch were in the ranges of 22.01-28.96 and 32.62-49.03 g/100 g, respectively. Five fatty acids were detected by GC-FID analysis in all mung bean accessions, with linoleic acid being the most dominant (37.96-50.71 g/100 g). Total saponin content (TSC), total phenol content (TPC), DPPH^• scavenging activity, ABTS^•+ scavenging activity, and
