Three batches of yogurts were made with soy protein isolate (SPI) supplemented with 2% (S2), 4% (S4) or 6% (S6) of skim milk powder (SMP). The fourth batch (control; S0) was prepared from SPI without SMP supplementation. Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus ATCC 11842 (Lb 11842) and Streptococcus thermophilus ST 1342 (ST 1342) were used as the starter culture. Biotransformation of the inac...

Isoflavones are thought to have an important role in the prevention of hormonerelated diseases. This study was undertaken to identify the profile of urinary isoflavone metabolites collected within 24 h after the consumption of unfermented or fermented soy foods. The proportions of b-glycosides and aglycones to total isoflavone intake were much higher in soybean paste than soy flour. Twenty urin...

the increasing prevalence rate of breast cancer among asian-american women shows the more significant role of lifestyle factors in etiology than genetic factors. the search engine pubmed was used for searching related paper by “breast cancer”, “soy”, “isoflavones”, “phytoestrogen” as the key words. we selected papers which published during 1990 to 2012. various experimental studies reported the...

PURPOSE To compare the content of bioaccessible folate, vitamin B12, and isoflavones in tofu and tempe, as influenced by soybean variety and food processing, particularly fermentation. PRINCIPAL RESULTS Raw soybeans contained 2207-2671 μg/kg (dry matter) folate, cooked tempe 1493-4143, and cooked tofu 968-1273 μg/kg, the difference was attributed to the fermentation in tempe. Vitamin B12 was ...

Soybean is an important food crop that contains high amounts of isoflavones. However, due to the expression multiple genes, different soybean seeds have isoflavone compositions. The underlying mechanisms for this complexity remain unknown. In study, we identified potential differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in two wild cultivars, ZYD7068 (high isoflavone) and ZYD7194 (low isoflavone), at see...

The present study evaluated the effects of various dosages of soybean isoflavone extract on lipid profiles, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant activities in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The one normal control group was fed an AIN-76-based experimental diet and four diabetic groups were fed the same diet, supplemented with four different levels of soybean isoflavone extract for seven we...

The popularity of soybeans is increasing as soybean products are now regarded as healthy foods, partly due to the isoflavones contained in their seeds. This study was initiated to study the isoflavone content in soybean seeds as influenced by genotype, year, site and their interactions. Fifteen cultivars were grown at three sites (Seoul, Suwon and Kyongsan) in Korea in 1998–2000, and harvested ...

The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) or severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread rapidly from its origin in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, to the rest of world. efficacy herbal treatment control contagious disease was demonstrated during 2003 outbreak (SARS). Natural compound used for this study were isoflavone and myricetin. Molecular docking performed analyze binding ...

7-O-Methyl-luteone was metabolized in a buffer solution by resting cells of Botrytis cinerea which is known as a fungus detoxifying prenylated isoflavones into further oxygenated meta­ bolites, and we could isolate an unstable epoxy-intermediate. The epoxy-intermediate was easily cyclized under acidic conditions to yield the corresponding isoflavone with a hydroxychroman part structure (= dihyd...

In view of their perceived chemopreventive activities against hormone-dependent cancers, cardiovascular disease, and postmenopausal ailments, there is considerable interest in engineering plants to contain isoflavone phytoestrogens. However, attempts to date have only resulted in low levels of isoflavone accumulation in non-legumes. Introducing soybean isoflavone synthase (IFS) into Arabidopsis...
