| Summary: | <b>Objective:</b> To evaluate the physiological effects of whole kidney been food and develop functional resources of different color kidney beans. <b>Methods:</b> The contents of total polyphenols, flavonoids and acid polysaccharides, and antioxidant and <i>α</i>-amylase inhibitory activities of digestive solution and starch hydrolysis kinetics and glucose diffusion properties of three kidney bean were investigated through in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion. <b>Results:</b> The contents of total polyphenols, flavonoids and acid polysaccharides, and antioxidant and <i>α</i>-amylase inhibitory activities were black kidney bean>red kidney bean>white kidney bean (<i>P</i><0.05). The kinetic rate of first order reaction of starch hydrolysis, rapidly digestible starch contents and glucose diffusion rate were black kidney bean<red kidney bean<white kidney bean (<i>P</i><0.05). Additionally, the contents of bioactive components of kidney bean digestive juices were positively correlated with the antioxidant activities, but negatively correlated with the rates of glucose diffusion (<i>P</i><0.05). <b>Conclusion:</b> The digestive juices of kidney bean were rich in phenolic compounds and exhibited excellent antioxidant activity and certain <i>α</i>-amylase inhibitory ability.
