Black soybean teata is helpful to preventing obesity through enhancing energy expenditure and suppressing accumulation in mesenteric adipose tissue. The ethanol testa-extract of Cheongja #3 black soybean (ETCBS) is also have similar effects on obesity. So far, it is not clear whether the ethanol testa extract of black soybean can have effect on the characters of subcutaneous adipose stem cells ...

Defatted soybean flour was treated with hexane and ethanol to reduce lipid content and heated to inactivate lipoxygenase (LOX, linoleate:oxygen reductase; EC 1.13.11.12) to obtain lipid-reduced soybean flour (LRSF). The effects of processing conditions such as pH, reducing agent and storage time on yields and purity of glycinin (11S) were evaluated in the fractionation of soybean glycinin isola...

In order to develop new Kalopanax pictus shoot Jangajji (KJ) with low salt concentration, physicochemical changes of KJ soaked at different concentration of soybean sauce (10∼50%) were investigated for 50 days. The pH of KJ increased significantly with increasing concentration of soybean sauce in soaking solution (P<0.05). Titratable acidity and NaCl concentration of all KJ increased during sto...

the traditional extraction method was used to evaluate the antioxidant properties of nettle leaves in soybean oil. also the effects of three different solvents (water, 80% methanol and chloroform) on the extraction content of phenolic and flavonoid compounds from nettle leaves were examined. water extract had the highest extraction yield, and chloroform extract had the highest extraction conten...

background: phytoestrogens are some plant compounds with estrogenic biological effects which are found in many nutritional sources as soybean, flaxseed and sesame. vitex agnus-castus, also called vitex, owns phytoestrogenic properties. studies have showed that phytoestrogens have different impacts on the gestation process and reproduction indices. the present study is aimed at investigating the...

The aldose reductase (AR) inhibitor, 8-hydroxydaidzein, was isolated and identified from a methanolic extract of okara (soybean pulp) fermented with the fungal strain, Aspergillus sp. HK-388. 8-Hydroxydaidzein showed non-competitive inhibition of human recombinant AR with respect to DL-glyceraldehyde, its Ki value being evaluated as 7.0 microM.

The levels of food allergens in gamma-irradiated soybean (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 20, and 30 kGy) were investigated by immunoblotting and ELISA, using allergen-specific antibodies and patient serum. After 3 months of storage, Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) staining indicated similar total protein profiles among the treatments, but that some proteins were degraded by irradiation at high doses. Immun...

Evaluation of abundantly available agro-industrial by-products for their bioactive compounds and biological activities is beneficial in particular for the food and pharmaceutical industries. In this study, rapeseed meal, cottonseed meal and soybean meal were investigated for the presence of bioactive compounds and antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, xanthine oxidase and tyrosinase inhibitory activi...
