Abstract

The soy isoflavones daidzin, glycitin, and genistin were purified from defatted soy flour using preparative-scale reverse-phase HPLC. The stabilities of the three isoflavones at different heating temperatures were investigated. Daidzin, glycitin, and genistin were lost at a rate of 26, 27, and 27% of their original concentration, respectively, after 3 min at 185 °C. At 215 °C, decreases of daidzin, glycitin, and genistin were 65, 98, and 74% after 3 min and 91, 99, and 94% after 15 min, respectively. The order of the thermal stabilities, from lowest to highest, was glycitin, genistin, and daidzin. Acetyl daidzin and acetyl genistin, daidzein, glycitein, and genistein were produced during heating at temperatures above 135 °C. The rate of binding of an acetyl group to form acetyl daidzin and acetyl genistin from daidzin and genistin was higher than the rate of loss of a glucoside group to form daidzein and genistein. However, acetyl daidzin and acetyl genistin decreased sharply at temperatures above 200 °C, while daidzein, glycitein, and genistein were relatively stable over 30 min. The stability of daidzein was higher than that of glycitein or genistein.
