Profiling and quantification of isoflavones in soymilk from soy protein isolate using extracted ion chromatography and positive ion fragmentation techniques

Dietary supplements on soy based foods and beverages are increasingly gaining prominence all over the world. In this study, liquid chromatography coupled with positive electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) and diode array detection was used for the quantitation and characterisation of isoflavones in fermented and unfermented soymilk made from soy protein isolate SUPRO 590. Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis Bb12 was used for the fermentation of soymilk. The isoflavones were found to produce characteristic radical ions as well as molecules of H₂O, CO₂, a sugar unit, and an alcohol through collision-induced fragmentation. Product ion fragments revealed unique fragmentation pathways for each isoflavone compound. Characteristic fragmentation of different isoflavones were unequivocally identified and differentiated. The occurrence of aldehydes such as pentanal, ethanal and methanal was shown to be specifically linked with isoflavone aglycones, daidzein, genistein and glycitein, respectively. Main glycosides such as genistin, daidzin and glycitin as well as the acetyl-, and malonyl forms also showed respective aglycone ions in their spectra fragmentation. Thus positive ion fragmentation was important in the absolute confirmation of isoflavones and to reveal the occurrence of other related compounds such as aldehydes in soymilk.     

Levels of Isoflavonoids as Indicators of Resistance of Subterranean Clover Trifoliates to Redlegged Earth Mite Halotydeus destructor

The extracts, obtained with methanol from crushed trifoliates and from the surface layer of the trifoliates, contained isoflavones in both the free and bound forms as the major components, compounds known to exhibit feeding deterrence towards the redlegged earth mite. The levels of these compounds were quantified and showed considerable variation in extracts of one susceptible variety and four varieties with differing levels of resistance. The relative resistance of the five varieties established from field observations was compared with the amounts of isoflavone derivatives obtained in the two extracts. A better ranking of resistance was found with levels of isoflavones on the leaf surface than with the total amount of isoflavones in the trifoliates. These results suggest a simple method for determining the relative resistance of subterranean clover to the mite.     

Effect of free or protein-associated soy isoflavones on the antioxidant status in rats

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of chronic ingestion of free and protein‐associated soy isoflavones on the antioxidant status in male Wistar rats. Free isoflavone (iso), protein‐associated soy isoflavone (iso + prot) and soy protein (prot) extracts were administered for 30 days by gavage to the rats at a dosage of 1 mg aglycone isoflavones per 200 g body weight, adjusted daily, and the prot group was given the same concentration of soy protein received by the iso + prot group. Antioxidant capacity of plasma, thiobarbituric acid‐reactive substance (TBARS) and glutathione (GSH) levels and catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities in plasma, erythrocytes and tissues and gene expression levels in liver and kidney were evaluated. RESULTS: Chronic ingestion of free but not of protein‐associated soy isoflavones nor of solely soy protein increased plasma antioxidant capacity and GPx activity in erythrocytes. Soy protein increased CAT activity and gene expression in liver. SOD activity in erythrocytes was increased by all treatments. CONCLUSION: The overall results confirm that dietary soy isoflavones have a positive effect on antioxidant status, enhancing antioxidant capacity of plasma and antioxidant enzymes in various tissues, but the effects are dependent on the form of administration and on a complex mechanism of antioxidant status balance on the organism.

Enzymic Transformation of Isoflavone Phytoestrogens in Soymilk by β-Glucosidase-Producing Bifidobacteria

ABSTRACT: Five strains of bifidobacteria were screened for β-glucosidase activity using p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside as the substrate, and selected strains were used to ferment soymilk. Enumeration of viable bifidobacteria and quantification of isoflavones using HPLC were performed at 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48 h of incubation. Four strains produced β-glucosidase. B. pseudolongum and B. longum -a displayed the best growth in soymilk, with an increase of 1.3 log₁₀ CFU/mL after 12 h. B. animalis, B. longum -a, and B. pseudolongum caused hydrolysis of isoflavone malonyl-, acetyl- and β-glucosides to form aglycones, and transformed daidzein to equol in soymilk. Fermentation of soymilk with Bifidobacterium sp. resulted in a significant increase (p < 0.05) in the concentration of aglycones.
