Why is eating broad beans toxic?
The principle of silkworm bean disease is the lack of an enzyme in the body-glucose 6- phosphate dehydrogenation (G6PD). Studies have shown that G6PD can protect erythrocyte membrane from oxidative damage. Vicia faba contains two nucleosides-fabrizin and fabrizin, which are hydrolyzed into fabrizin and isofabrizin by β -glucosidase in weak acid environment. These two aglycones can reduce the GSH content of red blood cells in vivo, making red blood cells unable to reduce oxidized glutathione (GSSH), interfering with glucose 6- phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), leading to NADPH (reduced coenzyme II) deficiency and eventually hemolysis.
Besides G6PD deficiency, there are other factors that are not completely clear about the occurrence of broad bean poisoning. Broad beans can't be eaten raw. Vicia faba seeds contain nestin glycoside, which can cause acute hemolytic anemia (Vicia faba yellow disease) after people eat it. Eating green broad beans in spring and summer, if cooked improperly, will often cause poisoning. And it usually happens 4 to 24 hours after eating raw broad beans.
