Research Status and Future Development Trend of Soybean β-cong-lycinin and Glycinin
Because of its unique nutritional value,soybean has played an important role in the global agricultural trade in recent years.The main functional components of soy protein are β-conglycinin(7S)and glycinin(11S),and their potential health benefits and excellent processes have attracted more and more researchers' attention.In this review,the structures,amino acid compositions,func-tional properties and main separation methods of β-conglycinin and glycinin were introduced.The health functions of β-conglycinin were elaborated from lipid regulation,prevention of obesity and non-alcoholic liver disease and diabetes,as well as reduction of hypertension and cardiovascular in glycinin.The research direction and significance were discussed.At the same time,the development status of β-conglycinin and glycinin in the food field was analyzed,which will provide new ideas for the future development of plant protein product diversity.
