Abstract

Functional food is food that is naturally or through a process that is beneficial to health. One functional food is a green bean juice packaging beverage that can reduce blood glucose levels. High fiber content, low glycemic index and flavonoids, and polyphenols in green beans (Phaseolus radiatus L) can reduce glucose levels in the blood. This study used experimental animals 7 tails. All experimental animals were given packaged mung bean juice 2 times a day for 9 days by means of a round. The mean results of an examination of blood glucose levels in white rat experimental animals before giving packaged green bean juice drinks was 85 mg dl, while the average results of an examination of blood glucose levels in experimental rats after administration of packaged green bean juice were 75 mg/dl. The results of the Paired T-test statistical test obtained p = 0,000 <α = 0.05. Packaged green bean juice can reduce blood glucose levels in animals testing white rats.

Highlights

  • Diabetes increases the risk for disorders that predispose individuals to hospitalization, including coronary artery, cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular disease, nephropathy, infection, and lower-extremity amputations

  • The probability results of the Paired T-test Test 0,000

  • Based on research conducted by giving green beans (P. radiatus L) was able to prevent an increase in blood glucose levels in white wistar (R. novergicus) strain of white rats. (Briliansari et al 2016)

Summary

Introduction

Diabetes increases the risk for disorders that predispose individuals to hospitalization, including coronary artery, cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular disease, nephropathy, infection, and lower-extremity amputations. The management of diabetes in the hospital is generally considered secondary in importance compared with the condition that prompted admission. Recent studies have focused attention to the possibility that hyperglycemia in the hospital is not necessarily a benign condition and that aggressive treatment of diabetes and hyperglycemia results in reduced mortality and morbidity. One of the functional foods circulating in Indonesia is green bean extract packaging drinks. Mung beans have a high fiber content of around 7.6 g / 100 g. Fiber is considered to have a hypoglycemic effect because it influences the increase in insulin secretion and the use of glucose by liver cells, reducing blood sugar levels (Iqal et al, 2015). In addition to high fiber content, green beans have a low glycemic index value of 28.87
