Ultra high pressure homogenisation (UHPH) is an emerging technology to obtain fine and stable soymilk emulsions. Very little information is available about the stability of this kind of product during storage. Changes of isoflavone profile, protein digestibility and lysine availability in pasteurised-UHPH soymilks were studied for 21 days at 4 °C in comparison to heat-pasteurised soymilks. Neither heat nor UHPH treatments affected the isoflavone profile, as the percentage of each chemical form, in comparison with unprocessed-soymilk. During storage, there was a conversion of isoflavone forms to aglycones, being higher in heat-processed samples. In addition, UHPH samples showed a lesser percentage of blocked lysine during storage. No differences were observed in the evolution of protein digestibility among samples. Therefore, UHPH treatment seems to produce a better product, due to lower amounts of aglycones, and higher protein nutritional quality than heat treatment.

A 60-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the combined effect of dietary soy phytoestrogens, specifically genistein and daidzein, on the gonadal recrudescence and maturation of male Cyprinus carpio (Linnaeus, 1758). Adult male C. carpio (60 ± 10 g) were fed with a diet with no added genistein or daidzein (C), 110 mg/100 mg genistein (GL), 210 mg/100 g genistein (GH), 4 mg/100 g daidzein (DL), 8 mg/100 g daidzein (DH), combination of 110 mg/100 mg genistein and 4 mg/100 g daidzein (DGL, equivalent to 17.

The increasing prevalence of metabolic diseases and the global drive toward achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) underscore the need for sustainable, nutrient-dense foods. Soybeans (Glycine max), a critical global crop, offer promising solutions; however, their predominant use as animal feed raises concerns regarding food security and environmental sustainability. Fermented soy products-including tempeh, natto, and miso-are rich in bioactive compounds such as peptides and isoflavones, which offer potential therapeutic effects and hold cultural and nutritional significance.
