Genistein, daidzein, and their .beta.-glycoside conjugates: antitumor isoflavones in soybean foods from American and Asian diets

TLDR
In this article, a method was described for the separation and analysis of isoflavone β-glycoside conjugates and aglucones in various foods derived from soybeans.
Abstract
A method is described for the separation and analysis of isoflavone β-glycoside conjugates and aglucones in various foods derived from soybeans. After initial extraction using 80% aqueous methanol and defatting of the extract with hexane, the isoflavones were analyzed by gradient elution reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. Their structures were confirmed by fast atom bombardment ionization mass spectrometry and by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The results reveal that most Asian and American soy products, with the exception of soy sauce, alcohol-extracted soy protein concentrate, and soy protein isolate, have total isoflavone concentrations similar to those in the indict soybean
