Studies have found that the aroma components in toon include thiophenes, lipids, aldehydes and hydrocarbon compounds, of which hexenal and dimethylthiophene are the characteristic components of its fresh flavor. Toon is rich in nutrients, protein content is the best in vegetables, but also rich in calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and other elements, as well as vitaminSB, C, E and other vitamins; in addition, toon also contains triterpenes, alkaloids, flavonoids and other bioactive ingredients, with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, anti-tumor, hypoglycemic and other pharmacological effects.
