Article Synopsis
- Black bean is rich in isoflavones, saponins, and monoterpenes, while soybean isoflavones have antioxidant properties and mimic estrogen effects.
- The study involved extracting isoflavones from black beans and employing advanced chromatography techniques to identify and isolate five active compounds with varying levels of inhibition on xanthine oxidase.
- The results suggest that certain isoflavones demonstrate reversible or irreversible inhibition, providing insights into the mechanisms of enzyme inhibition and opening up potential for large-scale production of health-benefiting compounds.
