    Health-promoting properties of broad beans (Vicia faba L.)
    (Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2024-11-05) Baranowska, Alicja
    The aim of this work was to review scientific studies on the health-promoting properties of one of the oldest legumes, the broad bean (Vicia faba L). A review of the research literature concludes that broad bean seeds are a rich source of plant proteins, complex carbohydrates, essential vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. The seeds also contain small amounts of lipids. Broad beans are a good source of l-3,4-dihydroxphenylalanine (L-DOPA), a precursor of dopamine, which is used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), present in broad beans, is an amino acid that lowers blood pressure. Bean seeds contain anti-nutritional substances, e.g. vicin and convicin, which exacerbate the symptoms of hemolytic anemia known as favaism. Based on scientific evidence, regular consumption of legumes is potentially beneficial to health, including but not limited to reducing the risk of many chronic diseases. There is currently a growing interest in the use of legume proteins for the production of functional food products. Analysis of the research literature suggests that Vicia faba L. seeds can be a functional food ingredient and should be an important part of the diet.

    The nutritional value and health benefits of sweet corn kernels (Zea mays ssp. saccharata)
    (Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2023-10-19) Baranowska, Alicja
    The aim of this paper was to review scientific studies concerning the nutritional value and healthy properties of sweet corn kernels. Sweet corn (Zea mays ssp. saccharata) is a popular vegetable in America and many European countries. It is also increasingly recognized in Poland. The practical benefits of sugar corn result, among others, from the nutritional value of caryopses and their taste. The review of the literature of the research subject presented in this paper allows us to state that sugar corn caryopses are a source of carbohydrates (simple sugars, starch), protein, vitamins, mineral ingredients, phenolic acids, carotenoids and dietary fiber. The results of chemical analyses prove that sugar corn kernels do not contain gluten; therefore, this plant plays a particularly important role in the nutrition of people with coeliac disease, and corn flour is a valuable product in the food industry. An increasing number of research evidence shows that the regular consumption of wholemeal corn reduces the risk of developing many chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, eye diseases, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and digestive diseases. The analysis of the literature of the research subject allows us to conclude that sugar corn should be a permanent element of everyday diet, particularly because it can be consumed both in a fresh and processed form all year round. Keywords: sweet corn, chemical constitution, nutritional value, health

    Possibility of industrial hemp cultivation in areas of high nature value / Możliwości uprawy konopi włóknistych na obszarach przyrodniczo cennych
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2018-07-04) Zadrożniak, Bogumił ; Radwańska, Katarzyna ; Baranowska, Alicja ; Mystkowska, Iwona
    Subject and purpose of work: The aim of this work is to present the possibilities of cultivating varieties of industrial hemp which are registered in Poland in areas of high nature value. Materials and methods: This work is a type of overview; it describes characteristic features of areas of high nature value. It also presents specific biological properties, cultivation and agrotechnical requirements, as well as the versatility of industrial hemp usage. Results: This study demonstrated considerable importance of industrial hemp in developing areas of high nature value, in accordance with the idea of sustainable development. Conclusions: Due to the specific biological properties of industrial hemp, its low cultivation and agrotechnical requirements and lack of the need to use pesticides, industrial hemp can be successfully grown in areas of high nature value.
