Семена папайи - что с ними делать?

[Malina81]

Вот вчера разрезала папайю и так жалко было выкидывать эти чёрные круглые семена, так напоминаюшие чёрную икру своим внешним видом. Можно ли их ещё где-то использовать? Читала, что можно положить в дрессинги для салата. Но также где-то читала, что в них вроде содержится какое-то ядовитое вещество?

Есть у вас какие-нибудь интересныe рецепты для папайи? Папайю обычно ем в свежем виде или добавляю в smoothies.

Re: Семена папайи - что с ними делать?

семена папайи несколько ядовиты, вроде бы- но, "говорите мне о дозе"..
они имеют слегка перечный-горчичный и горьковатый вкус и, не смотря на то, что считаются съедобными- так сказать- на любителя.
что в них есть:
The seeds contain caricin, a glycoside. When caricin is combined with myrosin, it produces a mustard-like odor. Papaya seeds and pulp contain benzyl glucosinolate. This glucosinolate is hydrolyzed by the enzyme myrosinase to produce benzyl isothiocyanate. 7 The major cyanogenic glycoside in papaya is (2R)-prunasin; small amounts of sambunigrin are also present. 8 The alkaloid carpaine has been identified in the leaves.

One study alludes to the in vitro activity against helminths; benzyl isothiocyanate is considered to be the sole anthelmintic in papaya seed extracts. 5 Bacteriostatic activity of papaya is documented against several enteropathogens such as Bacillus subtilis , Enterobacter cloacae , Escherichia coli , Salmonella typhi , Staphylococcus aureus , Proteus vulgaris , Pseudomonas aeruginosa , and Klebsiella pneumoniae . 16

Benzyl isothiocyanate found in the pulp and seeds of papaya is a potent inducer of glutathione S-transferase, a phase II enzyme involved in the cellular detoxification of xenobiotics and reactive metabolites. 18
Carpaine has been shown to cause paralysis, decreased heart rate and central nervous system activity, 10 and may have some amebicidal activity.
