The digested juice from adzuki bean sprouts is better at neutralizing certain free radicals and preventing fat damage than the juice from mung bean sprouts.
Scientific Claim
The antioxidant capacity of gastric digests from adzuki bean sprouts is higher than that of mung bean sprouts in ABTS radical scavenging and lipid peroxidation inhibition assays.
Original Statement
“There was no impact of L. plantarum on the ability to neutralize the ABTS radical; however, a higher activity was found for the adzuki bean sprouts (Table 2).”
