PURPOSE: To inexpensively obtain a large amount of aglycones from an extracted solution or ground substance of soybeans, by heating soybeans or ground soybeans at a specific temperature in immersion, grinding and/or enzyme reaction process to maximize β-glucosidase activity in soybeans. n CONSTITUTION: In producing an isoflavon compound having estrogen action, antioxidation action, antihemolytic action, antilipemic action, cholesterol-lowering action and carcinostatic action from an extracted solution of soybeans or a ground material thereof, soybeans or the ground material is heated to 45-55°C in one process of immersion process, grinding process and enzyme reaction process after grinding to maximize β-glucosidase in the soybeans to give an isoflavon compound containing a large amount of aglycones such as daizein or genistein which is a main substance of medicinal effects such as carcinostatic action among isoflavon compounds and has extremely high utility. n COPYRIGHT: (C)1989,JPO&Japio |
