Abstract:

In this study, change of isoflavone contents and compositions in sufu (fermented tofu) during pre-fermentation and salting was investigated. Results indicated that total content of isoflavones exhibited a gradual decrease during pre-fermentation and salting. The loss of isoflavones was mainly attributed to tofu preparation and salting process. The compositions of isoflavone were altered during pre-fermentation and salting, which revealed an increase of aglycones such as daidzein and genistein, and a corresponding decrease of glucosides such as daidzin and genistin. Total content of isoflavones in sufu treated with less than 10% salt was higher than that of sufu treated with 15% salt.

Key words: sufu, isoflavone, pre-fermentation, NaCl
