摘要: 异黄酮(isoflavone)、木脂素(lignan)和香豆雌酚(coumestrol)等多酚类雌激素,是大豆、芝麻、大米、水果和蔬菜等食品特有的天然生理活性成分,具有重要的生理功能和健康效应。作为食品的功能因子,具有广阔的应用前景。植物雌激素的化学结构、生物活性、作用机理及抗癌效应的研究受到普遍关注,成为功能食品研究的新的生长点。本文综述了植物雌激素的测定方法、结构与生理活性、生物学功能等最新研究进展,并提出了雌激素在功能食品生产的应用前景。

Abstract: Phytoestrogens,such as isoflavones,lignans and coumestrols were natural bioactive constituents of soybean,sesame,rice,fruits and vegetables and exhibited vital biological functions for human health.These compounds have received increasing attention because of their interesting biological properties and pharmacological role in prevention of human cancer and other diseases.The present study reviewed the newdevelopments on analysis method,relationships between structure and function as well as prevention of diseases,especially cancer and coronary heart diseases.The author also suggested the development prospect of functional foods by using phytoestrogens as biofactor.
