Jicama

Pachyrhizus erosus

Pachyrhizus erosus，又称木豆薯或菊芋，在各种烹饪和文化实践中传统上被使用。其传统的用途没有很好地记录下来，但它已经被不同地区的菜肴所采用。关于其药理作用的科学证据有限；一项研究指出，菊芋淀粉中水解度小于6.3%的部分可以通过电喷雾形成稳定的颗粒，而更高的水解度则不会产生相同的结果。另一项研究表明，在FvCB模型估计值和三个C3物种的实测Jmax值之间存在显著差异，这可能表明预测模型存在局限性。经过真空浸渍芒果种子提取物处理的木豆薯表现出增强的抗氧化活性和体外结肠发酵期间更大的酚类代谢产物多样性。罗腾酮，存在于种子中的化合物，在B16F10细胞中被观察到通过诱导ERK激活导致MITF降解从而抑制黑色素生成。Pachyrhizus erosus 没有记录到主要的安全问题或药物相互作用。
