Tempe, prevention of degenerative diseases

Tempe, the Tempe found the first reference in 1875. Even in the manuscripts have been discovered Centini fiber tempe said.
This suggests that this traditional food has been known since centuries ago, in order to eat the Javanese culture, in Yogyakarta & Surakarta.

Several studies have been conducted by researchers both within & outside the country, to say the results are all positive & something that needs to be thought about tempeh factored in to the adequacy of nutritional intake for human health.

While other studies have shown, giving tempe menu to patients who have high cholesterol, can lower levels of cholesterol to normal levels. Apparently this is due to the origin of tempeh itself is derived from soybeans.

Some specialists also argue that the ordinary individuals who consume tempeh, less frequent or less susceptible to the disease assaults the digestive tract.

In later research, they came to the conclusion that is also contained in soybean lecithin which has superior properties as compared with body cell peremaja lecithin from other materials. In soybean, lecithin content with other substances are compounds that are high usefulness as a drug ageless, reinforcing the bone, & enhance endurance.

 study also noted that soy is more difficult to contamination by aflatoxin than other agricultural commodities. Mentioned that the presence of substances, such as zinc in soybean, making aflatoxin synthesis is inhibited. Therefore, it is clear that food is safer than tempeh 'interference' aflatoxin.

Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Padjadjaran in Bandung, Prof.. DR. Dr. Achmad Biben, Sp-KEER OG., said that tempeh is cooked well &  useful for improving the system of formation of bone cells & inhibit bone shrinkage.

Tempe also contains superoxide desmutase which can inhibit cell destroy & aging. In a piece of tempeh contained plenty of useful elements, such as carbohydrate, overweight, protein, fiber, vitamins, enzymes, daidzein, genistein & the anti-bacterial parts.

Consumers do not require to worry about aflatoxin, a carcinogenic substance in Tempe. Because the fungus that is used to make tempeh can reduce aflatoxin levels by 70%. These findings recommend that if there is aflatoxsin in Tempe, which was taken by raw materials, levels have been reduced by the presence of tempe fungi.
Nutrient content of tempeh is also able to compete with protein sources derived from other food ingredients, such as meat, eggs & fish.

Isoflavone content of active substances, in particular daidzein, genistein & isoflavones type six can bind to estrogen receptors in the body, can bind to estrogen receptors denagn in the body, may reduce complaints psikovasomotor hot flashes or pounding in the chest experienced by females entering menopause.

However, the efficacy of tempeh for menopausal females is dependent on manufacturing. Better if tempeh disemur, disup, dibacem, or dipepes, than fried. How to cook like that make tempeh efficacy only slightly decreased compared to when fried.

Tempe including food ingredients that contain vitamin B complex, including vitamin B-12 that serves for the formation of red blood grains. (Jihan F Labetubun)

Soybeans as raw materials also contain lecithin Tempe HPF (highly purified fraction), a kind of soy lecithin with fosfatidikolin optimal levels (70-75 percent), & contain essential fatty acids, which can increase vitality & rejuvenate the body's cells.
Lecithin can be produced from animal & vegetable food, & 88-year-old researcher wishes to make positive lecithin which is superior. The point is to lecithin which can serve as peremaja body cells, thus increasing its vitality. This vegetable lecithin is superior.

Furthermore, compared with soybeans, there's some things that benefit in Tempe. Chemically it can be seen from the increased levels of dissolved solids, dissolved nitrogen, free amino acids, free fatty acids, the digestibility, protein efficiency values, as well as the score of the protein.

Inside Tempe antioxidant also found a substance in the kind of isoflavones. Like vitamins C, E, & carotenoids, isoflavones also an antioxidant that is necessary by the body to cease the reaction of free radical formation.

In soybeans there's types of isoflavones, daidzein ie, glisitein, & genistein. In Tempe, in addition to the types of isoflavones are also contained an antioxidant factor II (6,7,4 trihydroxy isoflavone), which has the most powerful antioxidant properties than the isoflavones in soy.

Free radicals are atoms or molecules that have or more unpaired electrons, so it is reactive & may cause tumors, cancer, aging, & cell death. Free radicals can be derived from everyday foods they eat or reactions that occur in the body. The presence of antioxidants in the diet will prevent the formation of free radicals.

Aging (aging) is a system that normally occurs in the body. The aging system is greatly influenced by various factors, namely nutrition, free radicals, immune system, & so on. The aging system can be inhibited if the food consumed every day contains antioxidants.

These antioxidants are synthesized in the coursework of the fermentation system of soybeans in to tempeh by bacteria Micrococcus luteus & Coreyne bacterium.
Research conducted at the University of North Carolina, United States, found that genestein & phytoestrogens present in tempeh could prevent prostate & breast cancer.
