Taking 6 major components of soybean isoflavones, daiazin, glycitin, genistin, daiazein, glycitein and genistein, as the contrast, comparing single factor experiments and orthogonal experiment, The optimum condition to extract soybean isoflavones from the defatted soybean meal was studied, which provide a frame of reference for the industrial-scale production of soybean isoflavones. The optimum condition was that the concentration of ethanol was 70%, extracting time 3h, temperature 90℃, radio of defatted soybean meal to sol- vent 1 : 15, extr...
