The goal of this study was to analyse, whether malting technique (consisting of seed hydration, germination and drying) can be used to modify concentration of various isoflavonoids in soybean seeds. Seeds of three soybean varieties were germinated by different lengths of time (from 24 to 120 h) and dried by two different methods, typically used to produce so-called 'light' and 'caramel' malts. It was determined, that malting decreases concentration of 7-O-β-D-glucosides such as daidzin, genisitin and glycitin, while at the same time increasing concentration of aglycones (daidzein, genistein and glycitein). Increasing time of the germination period increased concentration of aglycones. 'Caramel' type malts were characterised with higher concentration of most of the isoflavonoids (daidzin, daidzein, genistin, genistein and glycitein) than 'light' type malts. Results of this study suggest that soybean malts can be an interesting substrate in the production of various food products with increased aglycone content.
本研究的目的是分析麦芽制作技术(包括种子的水合、发芽和干燥过程)是否可以用来改变大豆种子中各种异黄酮的浓度。三种大豆品种的种子分别以不同的时间(24 至 120 小时)发芽,并采用两种不同的方法干燥,这两种方法通常用于生产所谓的“浅色”和“焦糖”麦芽。结果表明,麦芽制作会降低 7-O-β-D-葡萄糖苷如大豆苷、染料木素和黄豆苷元的浓度,同时增加苷元(大豆苷、染料木黄酮和黄豆苷元)的浓度。发芽时间的延长会增加苷元的浓度。与“浅色”麦芽相比,“焦糖”型麦芽的大多数异黄酮(大豆苷、大豆苷元、染料木苷、染料木黄酮和黄豆苷元)浓度更高。本研究结果表明,大豆麦芽可以作为一种有趣的基质,用于生产具有更高苷元含量的各种食品。
