Medicinal value plant of capsicum and its development and utilization

Business news on February 1 1: 1 The nutritional value of capsicum is rich in nutrition, especially the content of VC is very high It contains 36 times of eggplant, 21 times of apple, 9 times of tomato, 3 times of Chinese cabbage and 2 times of white radish One person can meet the body's demand for VC by eating 60g fresh capsicum a day The content of carotene is 19 times of that of apple, VB2 and VB1 are 3 and 4 times of that of apple, respectively, and VP (also called rutin) is 5 and 6 times more than that of common vegetables, ranking first in vegetables According to the determination, there are 1.6g protein, 0.2g fat, 4.5g sugar, 12mg calcium, 40mg phosphorus, 0.8mg iron, 0.37mg carotene, vc198mg and a small amount of VB1, VB2, fat oil, volatile oil, pentosan and mineral in every 100g pepper The results showed that the volatile oil content of capsicum fruit was 0.1% ~ 2.6%, the main component was 2-methoxy-3-isobutylpyrazine, which had the unique aroma of fresh capsicum Capsaicin, Dihydrocapsaicin, high capsaicin, high Dihydrocapsaicin, vanillin nonanoate, vanillin decanoate; lutein, cryptoflavin, capsanthin, trace capsanthin, citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, etc.; in addition, capsicum also contains rich minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc., which are necessary for human body It is a nutritious and well matched vegetable 2 The medicinal value of capsicum is known as "red medicine" Yao Kecheng summarized the health care function of Capsicum in "food Materia Medica", which is "eliminating persistent food, relieving Qi, opening appetite and avoiding evil" Modern pharmacology research has proved that proper amount of Capsicum has certain therapeutic effect on human body 2.1 Jianwei Xiaoshi capsicum can stimulate the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract, enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote the secretion of digestive fluid, improve appetite, increase the activity of digestive enzymes, so as to promote appetite and improve digestive function It can cure the bad appetite, abdominal distention and abdominal pain caused by cold It can be used to treat cold and wind, especially for patients with dyspepsia Chili is also a natural storehouse for ascorbic acid and carotene Modern medicine has proved that both have anti-cancer effects, which can "choke diaphragm" and reduce the incidence rate of gastric cancer Some medical and nutritional experts in China have investigated Hunan and Sichuan provinces, and found that the incidence rate of gastric ulcer is far lower than that of other provinces This is because pepper can stimulate the release of prostaglandin E2, promote the regeneration of gastric mucosa, maintain the function of gastrointestinal cells, and prevent gastric ulcer 2.2 It can speed up blood circulation, speed up heartbeat, expand blood vessels and improve skin temperature, so people have special feelings for pepper in cold and humid areas When cold, joint pain, and cold feeling are affected by damp, you can eat some pepper and sweat, and the symptoms can disappear with sweating Sichuan people eat tripe hotpot in summer and sweat while eating, which is considered as a special food enjoyment In Hunan Province, there is a saying that "three red peppers make a big cotton padded jacket", which explains the power of pepper to expel wind and blood 2.3 To improve the heart function, pepper is used as the main raw material, and garlic, hawthorn extract and VE are used to make "health products" After eating, it can improve the heart function and promote blood circulation In addition, eating chili often reduces blood lipids, reduces thrombosis, has certain preventive effects on cardiovascular diseases, reduces blood pressure, inhibits growth of malignant tumor cells, promotes fat metabolism, and reduces weight and reduces the incidence rate of vascular sclerosis and coronary heart disease 2.4 Reduce blood sugar Jamaican scientists have proved that capsaicin can significantly reduce blood sugar level through experiments At present, researchers do not know how capsaicin affects insulin content They speculate that capsaicin may have increased insulin secretion from the pancreas under the stomach, or it may have delayed the destruction of the hormone responsible for glucose metabolism in the body 2.5 To prevent gallstones, taking green pepper often can prevent gallstones Green pepper is rich in vitamins, especially VC, which can change the excess cholesterol into bile acid, so as to prevent gallstones People who have gallstones eat green pepper rich in VC, which has a certain effect on alleviating the disease 3 People attach great importance to the development and application of health food and its therapeutic effect Pepper, a traditional food, is more and more popular Pepper can be used not only as food but also as medicine 3.1 Chili food, chili nutrition powder, chili curative powder, diabetes diet powder, stomach disease diet powder, hyperlipidemia diet powder, chili granule powder, chili biscuit, chili noodles, chili macaroni, chili sprouts, etc 3.2 hot pepper beverage hot pepper diet wine, hot pepper vinegar, hot pepper tea, hot pepper beverage (hot pepper Qingfei Runhou beverage, hot pepper Qushu beverage, hot pepper nourishing beverage), etc 3.3 Capsicum cosmetics, capsicum hair conditioner, capsicum bath solution, capsicum skin cream, capsicum anti radiation facial cream 3.4 The main raw material of this kind of products is the biological flavonoids extracted from Capsicum The flavonoids in Capsicum are yellow powder, and the main components are 2-phenylchromogenic ketones, such as quercetin, rutin, Morin, and tzfeinol It has the biological effects of clearing heat and detoxification, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, improving microcirculation, removing toxin, reducing blood sugar and lipid The main products are: bioflavonoids powder, bioflavonoids ointment, bioflavonoids capsule, bioflavonoids toothpaste, bioflavonoids gum, etc With the deepening of the research and development of pepper, its nutritional value and medicinal value will be more and more clearly understood Pepper products will also play an important role in enriching people's material and cultural life, as well as people's poverty alleviation and prosperity in Alpine mountainous areas and ethnic minority areas 3.5 capsaicin is a kind of natural vegetable alkaloid, which is an effective component extracted from the mature fruit of capsicum, mainly used for analgesia and antipruritic At present, there are five aspects of clinical application of capsaicin drugs at home and abroad: ① capsaicin is used as an external plaster, which is used for the treatment of wind chill and pain, makes the local blood vessels of the skin reflexively expand, promotes the local blood circulation, so it has the effect of removing swelling and benefiting the joints; ② US scientists have found that the high-purity capsaicin is used as an injection for detoxification, It is a kind of broad-spectrum and efficient new drug for detoxification, which has a strong detoxification effect on almost all drug addictions The analgesic injection made of capsaicin has a strong analgesic effect on the sharp pain caused by large-area trauma, late cancer, etc.; ③ Jianwei Xiaoshi capsicum can stimulate the oral mucosa, reflexively increase the gastric movement, increase the activity of digestive enzymes, so as to promote appetite and improve The role of digestive function ④ Treatment of various skin diseases such as intractable psoriasis, urticaria, eczema, neurodermatitis, pruritus and pruritus caused by hemodialysis; ⑤ weight loss capsaicin can accelerate metabolism to achieve a significant effect of burning body fat, so as to play a role in weight loss This material can also promote hormone secretion, has a good beauty and health care effect on the skin, and is a "tonic" for women Capsaicin can improve fat metabolism, consume excess fat, control weight, and achieve weight loss 4 Although pepper is rich in nutrition and has important medicinal value, it is harmful to human health if eaten too much Because of the toxicity of capsicum, it will cause nervous system damage, peptic ulcer, and even lead to cell biochemical reaction disorder and turn into tumor Over eating can make the body moist from the heat, manifested as acne, blood pressure rise, hemorrhoids aggravation, epistaxis and so on If you eat a large amount of pepper for a long time, it will cause poisoning, such as hot feeling in the stomach, abdominal distention, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and even hematemesis, urination, blood pressure rise or fall Animal experiments have proved that capsaicin, the main component of capsicum, has certain effects on the circulatory system, which can cause transient blood pressure drop, heart rate slowing and dyspnea Therefore, if you eat too much pepper, you should be careful of poisoning Because too much capsaicin can acutely stimulate gastrointestinal mucosa, make it highly congested, accelerate peristalsis, cause stomachache, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and make anus burning and stinging, induce gastrointestinal diseases, and promote hemorrhoids bleeding Those who suffer from esophagitis, gastroenteritis, gastric ulcer and hemorrhoids should eat less or avoid chili Because the hot pepper is hot and spicy, the patients with hot eye, toothache, sore throat, hemoptysis, furuncle and other hot diseases, or hypertension and tuberculosis patients with Yin deficiency and fire flourishing should be careful Although hot pepper is loved by people, it is forbidden to take it because of its pungent heat and strong stimulation, so people with gastric ulcer, tuberculosis, advanced cirrhosis, hemorrhoids, high blood pressure and vigorous body asthenia and fire should not take it Cucumbers, carrots and pumpkins all contain VC decomposing enzymes, which can destroy VC in hot pepper, so they are not suitable for cooking.
