Uninzi lwethu lukhe lweva ngokutya okuluhlaza okufana neSpirulina. Kodwa ngaba ukhe weva ngeEuglena?

I-Euglena sisidalwa esingaqhelekanga esidibanisa iimpawu zezityalo nezezilwanyana ukuze sifumane izondlo ngokufanelekileyo. Kwaye iqulethe izondlo ezibalulekileyo ezingama-59 ezifunekayo emzimbeni wethu ukuze sibe sempilweni entle.

YINTONI UEUGLENA?

I-Euglena iyinxalenye yosapho lwe-algae, kunye ne-kelp kunye ne-seaweed. Ibisoloko ixhasa ubomi emhlabeni ukususela kwixesha langaphambi kwembali. Ityebile kwizakhamzimba, i-Euglena ineevithamini ezili-14 ezifana neeVithamini C & D, iiminerali ezili-9 ezifana ne-Iron & Calcium, ii-amino acid ezili-18 ezifana neLysine & Alanine, ii-unsaturated fatty acid ezili-11 ezifana ne-DHA & EPA kunye nezinye ezisi-7 ezifana neChlorophyll & Paramylon (β-glucan).

Njengesityalo esidityaniswe nezilwanyana, i-Euglena ityebile kwizakhamzimba ezifumaneka kwimifuno, njenge-folic acid kunye ne-fiber, kunye nezakhamzimba ezikwinyama neentlanzi, ezifana neoyile ze-omega kunye ne-vitamin B-1. Idibanisa amandla e-locomotive yesilwanyana ukutshintsha imo yeseli yaso kunye neempawu zezityalo ezifana nokukhula nge-photosynthesis.

Iiseli ze-Euglena ziqulathe izondlo ezininzi, ezifana ne-ß-1, i-3-glucans, i-tocopherol, ii-carotenoids, ii-amino acids ezibalulekileyo, iivithamini, kunye neeminerali, kwaye kutshanje zitsale ingqalelo njengokutya okutsha okunempilo. Ezi mveliso zinefuthe lokulwa ne-antioxidant, ukulwa nomhlaza, kunye ne-cholesterol.

IINZUZO ZIKA-EUGLENA

I-Euglena ineenzuzo ezininzi ezinamandla, ukusuka kwimpilo, izinto zokuthambisa ukuya ekuzinzeni.

Njengesongezelelo sokutya, i-Euglena ineParamylon (β-glucan) enceda ukususa izinto ezingafunekiyo ezifana namafutha kunye ne-cholesterol, iphucula inkqubo yomzimba yokuzikhusela, kwaye inciphisa amanqanaba e-uric acid egazini.

I-Euglena ayinaludonga lweseli. Iseli yayo ijikelezwe yi-membrane eyenziwe ngeproteni, nto leyo ebangela ukuba ibe nexabiso eliphezulu lesondlo kunye nokufunxwa kwezondlo ngokufanelekileyo ukuze kuphuculwe kwaye kubuyiselwe umsebenzi weseli.

I-Euglena icetyiswa ukuba ilawule ukuhamba kwamathumbu, iphucule amanqanaba amandla kwaye yongeze abo bangenalo ixesha lokulungiselela ukutya okunesondlo.

Kwizinto zokuthambisa kunye neemveliso zobuhle, i-Euglena inceda ekwenzeni ulusu lube bushelelezi, lube lula kwaye lukhazimle ngakumbi.

Iyandisa imveliso ye-dermal fibroblasts, enika ukhuselo olongezelelweyo ekukhanyeni kwe-ultraviolet kwaye inceda ukugcina ulusu lubonakala lulutsha.

Ikwakhuthaza ukwakheka kwe-collagen, into ebalulekileyo ekunyamekeleni ulusu oluhlala luqinile kwaye lulwa nokwaluphala.

Kwiimveliso zokhathalelo lweenwele nezentloko, i-Euglena inceda ukubuyisela iinwele ezonakeleyo kwaye inike umswakama kunye nokutsiba ukuze zenze iinwele zibukeke zisempilweni.

Kwindlela esebenza ngayo indalo, i-Euglena inokukhula ngokuguqula i-CO2 ibe yi-biomass nge-photosynthesis, ngaloo ndlela inciphisa ukukhutshwa kwe-CO2.

I-Euglena ingasetyenziselwa ukondla imfuyo kunye nokulima iintlanzi ngenxa yokuba ineproteni eninzi kunye nomxholo ophezulu wesondlo.

Ii-biofuels ezisekelwe e-Euglena zingathabatha indawo yeefosili ngokukhawuleza zibe zizixhobo zokunika amandla iinqwelo-moya neemoto, nto leyo edala 'uluntu olune-carbon ephantsi' oluzinzileyo.
