Identification of Isoflavonoid

Isoflavones are found in dried fruits, in particular soya is believed to have estrogenic properties, anticancer, antiosteoporoisitik, antioksidan.Pada processed soy isoflavone-containing compounds, that is to say have a temperature aktivitasantioksidan and anti-haemolytic, these compounds are called by a factor of 2, genisten, and daidzein.Isoflavon are flavonoids which act as phytoestrogens are very useful for the health. Flavonoids and isoflavonoida is one satugolongan secondary metabolites are found in many plants, in particular by groups Leguminoceae (butterflies flower plants). The content of flavonoid compounds in the plant itself is very low, approximately 0.25%. These compounds are generally in keadaanterikat / conjugated with sugars.Isoflavones are compounds that many secondary metabolites synthesized by the plants. However, it is not so metabolitsekunder as compounds because these compounds are not synthesized by microorganisms. Dengandemikian, microorganisms do not have the content of these compounds. For karenaitu, plants are the main source of isoflavones compounds in nature. Of the different types of crops, high content of isoflavones contained in tanamanLeguminoceae, especially in soybean plants. In soybean, a higher content of isoflavones present in soy, especially in hipokotil (germ) that will grow into plants. Some lagiterdapat the cotyledons which will be the first leaf of the plant.These compounds isoflavones generally form complex compounds or conjugated sugar dengansenyawa through glucoside bond. This type of compound terutamaadalah isoflavones genistein, daidzin and glisitin. This form of such compounds mempunyaiaktivitas physiological small.During the process, either through a process of fermentation and prosesnon-fermentation, isoflavone compounds may undergo, hydrolysis process terutamamelalui so that it can be obtained free yangdisebut compounds isoflavone aglycone of greater activity. The adalahgenistein aglycone compounds, glisitein and daidzein
