The purpose of this study was to determine the nutrient digestibility and antioxidant activity of mung bean sprout flour. This study was conducted using 12 hours germination and without germination of mung bean, and each treatment was repeated three times. Mung bean flour and mung bean sprouts flour were tested for moisture content, ash content, protein content, fat content, carbohydrate content, protein digestibility, starch digestibility, total phenol, and antioxidant activity. The results showed that germination of mung bean had a very significant effect on moisture content, antioxidant activity (IC50), and total phenol, a significant effect on starch digestibility, and had no significant effect on ash content, protein content, fat content, carbohydrate content, and protein digestibility. The results showed that mung bean sprout flour has a moisture content of 6.74%, ash content 3.39%, protein content 32.13%, fat content 11.33%, carbohydrate content 46.41%, protein digestibility 46.80%, starch digestibility 93.45%, total phenol 22.02 mg/100 g, and antioxidant activity (IC50) 454.50 ppm. Keywords : mung bean, sprout flour, nutrient digestibility, antioxidant activity

The extensibility of synthetic polymers is routinely modulated by the addition of lower molecular weight spacing molecules known as plasticizers, and there is some evidence that water may have similar effects on plant cell walls. Furthermore, it appears that changes in wall hydration could affect wall behavior to a degree that seems likely to have physiological consequences at water potentials that many plants would experience under field conditions. Osmotica large enough to be excluded from plant cell walls and bacterial cellulose composites with other cell wall polysaccharides were used to alter their water content and to demonstrate that the relationship between water potential and degree of hydration of these materials is affected by their composition. Additionally, it was found that expansins facilitate rehydration of bacterial cellulose and cellulose composites and cause swelling of plant cell wall fragments in suspension and that these responses are also affected by polysaccharide composition. Given these observations, it seems probable that plant environmental responses include measures to regulate cell wall water content or mitigate the consequences of changes in wall hydration and that it may be possible to exploit such mechanisms to improve crop resilience.

Plant cell wall polysaccharides (PCWP) are abundantly present in the food of humans and feed of livestock. Mammalians by themselves cannot degrade PCWP but rather depend on microbes resident in the gut intestine for deconstruction. The dominant Bacteroidetes in the gut microbial community are such bacteria with PCWP-degrading ability. The polysaccharide utilization systems (PUL) responsible for PCWP degradation and utilization are a prominent feature of Bacteroidetes. In recent years, there have been tremendous efforts in elucidating how PULs assist Bacteroidetes to assimilate carbon and acquire energy from PCWP. Here, we will review the PUL-mediated plant cell wall polysaccharides utilization in the gut Bacteroidetes focusing on cellulose, xylan, mannan, and pectin utilization and discuss how the mechanisms can be exploited to modulate the gut microbiota.
