Abstract:

The isoflavone glycosides in soybeans and their prepared products are difficult to digest and absorb in human body. In current paper, research progress in biotransformation of soybean isoflavone glycosides to improve bioavailability through β-glucosidase at home and aboard has been reviewed. The transformation of isoflavone glucosides by exogenous β-glucosidase and β-glucosidase-producing probiotics has been discussed in detail.

Key words: soybean isoflavone, &beta, -glucosidase, hydrolysis, probiotics
