Phaseolunatin

Phaselunatin is a naturally occurring glycoside found in moonbeans and some other beans. This substance is known to cause poisoning if accidentally consumed. However, scientists have long known about the dangers of this substance and are studying how it can be used safely.

Phaseolunatins (moonbean glycosides) are a group of natural glycosides found in certain types of beans. They were first discovered by Japanese scientists in 1937. This is due to the study of the toxic properties of moonbean seeds. This toxicity is due to the presence of a glycoside in the seeds known as phaseolunitin. This glycoside consists of a glucose molecule and an amino acid called ethyl prussic acid ester.

Phaseolunicates are glycosides that give the plant resistance to various parasites. They are associated with the biochemical mechanisms of plant protection from the penetration of fungal and infectious pathogens.

The cause of soil poisoning after consuming phaseolunica may be caused by their metabolism in the stomach by enzymes of the intestinal flora. The glucosides of Phaseo-olunates are very little hydrolyzed in vitro by human gastric fluid, but are still completely purified from the corresponding glycols by dichloromethane
