This study was conducted to investigate optimal roasting temperature of mung bean and to study ameliorating effect on body compositions and blood lipid profiles in overweight middle-aged women. The optimal roasting temperature was at 110℃ for 30 min. (RM110-30). Because the contents of vitexin and isovitexin, which are anti-obesity index materials, were the highest. And then the ameliorating effect of roasted mung bean tea consumption study wes performed for 4 weeks with two groups (case group and control group). Three cups of tea per day after a meal were given to the case group, in contrast, the control group was given water. The changes of body composition (percent body fat and waist/hip ratio, body fat mass) of the case group were not significantly reduced both the case and the control group. But, in the changes of blood lipid profiles (the levels of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and TG) of the case group were significantly decreased compared to the control group. These results suggested that the mung bean is helpful to ameliorate hyperlipidemia in overweight middle-aged women.
