The effects of enzymatic extraction strategies on extractability, bioconversion, and bioaccessibility of biologically active isoflavone aglycones, total phenolic content, and antioxidant activity of aqueous extracts from full-fat soy flour were evaluated. Protease, tannase, and cellulase enzymes were used individually or in combination. Except for the protease treatment, all enzymatic treatments increased the extraction of biologically active isoflavones (daidzein and genistein) compared with the control. The use of a mixture of protease, tannase, and cellulase resulted in increased extractability and/or bioconversion of aglycones from soy flour, indicating a synergistic effect amongst the enzymes. Daidzein and genistein concentrations increased from 29.0 to 158.2 μg/g and from 27.0 to 156.5 μg/g (compared to the control), respectively. Furthermore, enzymatic extraction followed by in vitro gastrointestinal digestion significantly increased the bioaccessibility of isoflavone aglycones, total phenolic content (by 22-45%), and antioxidant activity (by 15-22%) of the extracts. These results demonstrate that enzyme selection is an efficient strategy to maximize the extraction, bioconversion, and bioaccessibility of bioactive isoflavones from soy flour, which could contribute to health benefits associated with the consumption of soy-rich products.

A fundamental rheological approach to determine the optimum water absorption capacity of a model gluten-free dough system: soy flour dough.
J Sci Food Agric

Department of Animal, Veterinary and Food Sciences, University of Idaho, Moscow, ID, USA.
Background: Determining the optimum water absorption capacity of gluten-free flours for an improved breadmaking process has been a challenge because there is no standard method. In the present study, large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) tests were performed to explore the impact of different levels of added water on non-linear viscoelastic response of soy flour dough in comparison to wheat flour dough at a consistency of 500 BU.
Results: Among the LAOS parameters, large strain modulus (G') and large strain rate viscosity (η') were found to better probe the impact of added water amount on non-linear viscoelastic properties of soy flour dough.

Pinto beans, an underutilized legume, are abundant in protein content and contain a variety of beneficial phytonutrients. However, the commonly used protein extraction method, alkaline extraction, is associated with several drawbacks. These drawbacks include low extraction yield and purity as well as the production of large amounts of wastewater that can lead to environmental hazards.

Grain-based gluten-free cookies are often nutritionally inferior owing to their low protein content. This study aimed to enhance the nutritional value of gluten-free cookies by incorporating soy flour and to investigate the effects of different types of modified soy flour on the properties of gluten-free dough and cookies. Results indicate that all types of modified soy flour significantly decreased water absorption capacity (p < 0.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC)-mediated diarrhea can be mitigated by inhibiting bacterial adhesion to intestinal surface. Some lactic acid bacteria (LAB) produce exopolysaccharides (EPS) that can inhibit ETEC adhesion. In this study, we fermented soy flour-based dough (SoyD) with EPS-producing LAB strains Pediococcus pentosaceus TL (PpTL), Leuconostoc citreum TR (LcTR), Leuconostoc mesenteroides WA (LmWA) and L.
