Plant-based functional foods have gained wider attention in current scenario with mung bean harboring several bioactive compounds with promising gut health benefits and pharmacological importance. Consumption of mung bean has a positive impact on beneficial gut microbes and microbial metabolite production. The effects of dietary mung bean on gut microbial homeostasis and the management of gut-related diseases along with the possible mechanism of action, have been highlighted through this review paving a way for a promising role of dietary mung bean as a functional food in the management of gut-related diseases for example mung bean peptides can help not only in treating prediabetes but also delaying the aging process by targeting the intestinal microflora. In addition, expanding our knowledge of how diets affect host health and disease, including the effects of mung bean dietary components on gut microbiota-derived metabolites, will eventually allow for the development of tailored diets and nutrients.

在当前情况下，植物性功能食品受到了更广泛的关注，绿豆含有多种生物活性化合物，具有良好的肠道健康益处和药理学重要性。食用绿豆对有益肠道微生物和微生物代谢产物的产生具有积极影响。本综述强调了膳食绿豆对肠道微生物稳态和肠道相关疾病管理的影响以及可能的作用机制，为膳食绿豆作为功能性食品在肠道疾病管理中的潜在作用铺平了道路与肠道相关的疾病，例如绿豆肽，不仅可以帮助治疗糖尿病前期，还可以通过针对肠道微生物群来延缓衰老过程。此外，扩大我们对饮食如何影响宿主健康和疾病的了解，包括绿豆饮食成分对肠道微生物群衍生代谢物的影响，最终将有助于开发定制饮食和营养素。
