A New Method of Isolation of Isoflavones from Glycine max (Soya Beans) by Complexation Technique

Abstract

The technique of complexation was used to prepare isoflavones-enriched soya extract and to isolate genistein, from soya bean extract. The finding shows that isoflavones, in the extracts, form stable complexes with metals. This can be used as a novel method for isolation of flavonoids from plant sources.
