Funded Activity Summary

Stability of bioactive isoflavone aglycones and probiotic bacteria in soy based food during processing and storage. The aims of this study are to ascertain the optimum conditions for bioconversion of inactive isoflavone glucosides to bioactive isoflavone aglycones by bifidobacteria and assess the stability of bioactive aglycones during processing and storage. Studies have shown that dietary phytoestrogen an important role in prevention of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and breast and prostate cancer (Nagata et al., 1998). Optimum conditions for production of bioactive isoflavones and processing conditions that guarantee high levels of bioactive isoflavones for health benefits will be known. The results will provide critical information for creating market potential for a range of health based functional foods.
