Soy isoflavones have been studied for its several benefits, especially for women. When they are in aglycone forms, isoflavones have higher bioactive potential. A way to convert the isoflavones to aglycone forms is using fermentative process. For this reason, the goal of this scientific project was to evaluate the capacity of eleven microorganisms to change the glycosylated isoflavones in their more bioavailable aglycones. The results showed that the fermentation process with all microorganisms was able to increase the content of aglycone isoflavones in soymilk.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
