چکیده

Quercetin which belongs to a group of plant pigments called flavonoids which help give many fruits, flowers and vegetables their colours. Such flavonoids, such as Quercetin also act as anti-oxidants. They hunt and neutralise the free radicals which damage cell membranes, change the DNA structure and also cause cell death. Quercetin is also believed to help protection against several degenerative diseases by preventing lipid peroxidation.

This review provides a survey of literature regarding flavonoids in general, but more specifically on Quercetin.

Metabolism of Quercetin and Naringenin by Food-Grade Fungal Inoculum, Rhizopus azygosporus Yuan et Jong (ATCC 48108).

Rhizopus azygosporus Yuan et Jong (ATCC 48108), a starter culture for fermented soybean tempeh, produces β-glucosidases that cleave flavonoid glycosides into aglycones during fermentation. However, recent data suggest that fermentation of a flavonoid glycoside-rich extract with this strain did not result in the production of aglycones. Thus, in this paper, flavonoid metabolism of this strain wa...
