Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence indicates that oxidative stress increases and oxidative defense status decreases after menopause, contributing to the rise in cardiovascular disease (CVD). Soy protein consumption is increasing due to its purported protective effects on disease. Isoflavones from soybeans have been shown to lower circulating lipids and lipoproteins and may also possess antioxidant properties. Phytate, another component of soy protein, may also offer health benefits, mainly due to its antioxidant properties. The purpose of this study was to determine whether soy protein components, isoflavones and phytate, would reduce the risk of CVD in postmenopausal women. In a double-blind study, 55 postmenopausal women were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 soy protein isolate (SPI) treatments: low phytate, low isoflavone (LP/LI); normal phytate, low isoflavone (NP/LI); low phytate, normal isoflavone (LP/NI); or normal phytate, normal isoflavone (NP/NI). Subjects consumed 40 g soy protein per day for 6 weeks. Blood lipids (total cholesterol [TC], low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C], high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C], triacylglycerol [TG]) and oxidative stress indices (protein carbonyls [PC], oxidized low-density lipoprotein [oxLDL], and 8-iso-prostglandin-F2[subscript [alpha]] [PGF2[subscript [alpha]]]) were measured at baseline and week 6. Although the normal-isoflavone treatments showed a marginal effect on oxLDL, there was no overall significant effect on oxidative stress indicators. Both treatment groups consuming normal isoflavone levels showed a significant decrease in TC (p

Book excerpt: Worldwide, soybean seed proteins represent a major source of amino acids for human and animal nutrition. Soybean seeds are an important and economical source of protein in the diet of many developed and developing countries. Soy is a complete protein, and soy-foods are rich in vitamins and minerals. Soybean protein provides all the essential amino acids in the amounts needed for human health. Recent research suggests that soy may also lower risk of prostate, colon and breast cancers as well as osteoporosis and other bone health problems, and alleviate hot flashes associated with menopause. This volume is expected to be useful for student, researchers and public who are interested in soybean.

Download or read book Bioactive Molecules in Food written by Jean-Michel Mérillon and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-01-25 with total page 2353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference work provides comprehensive information about the bioactive molecules presented in our daily food and their effect on the physical and mental state of our body. Although the concept of functional food is new, the consumption of selected food to attain a specific effect existed already in ancient civilizations, namely of China and India. Consumers are now more attentive to food quality, safety and health benefits, and the food industry is led to develop processed- and packaged-food, particularly in terms of calories, quality, nutritional value and bioactive molecules. This book covers the entire range of bioactive molecules presented in daily food, such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, isoflavonoids, carotenoids, vitamin C, polyphenols, bioactive molecules presented in wine, beer and cider. Concepts like French paradox, Mediterranean diet, healthy diet of eating fruits and vegetables, vegan and vegetarian diet, functional foods are described with suitable case studies. Readers will also discover a very timely compilation of methods for bioactive molecules analysis. Written by highly renowned scientists of the field, this reference work appeals to a wide readership, from graduate students, scholars, researchers in the field of botany, agriculture, pharmacy, biotechnology and food industry to those involved in manufacturing, processing and marketing of value-added food products.

Book excerpt: Legumes are important for the diet of a significant part of the world's population; they are a good source of protein, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. The "importance of soybean" lies in the overall agriculture and trade and in its contribution to food supply. Soybean contains the highest protein content and has no cholesterol in comparison with conventional legume and animal food sources. Furthermore, soybean is a cheap source of food, and at the same time medicinal due to its genistein, photochemical, isoflavones content. Soybean has been found to be extremely helpful in the fight against heart disease, cancer and diabetes, among others. Soybean protein and calories are presently being used to prevent body wasting often associated with HIV. The importance of soybean nutrition intervention is amplified where medications are unavailable. Its economic potential inherent in a wide range of industrial uses can be harnessed to the benefit of smallholder soybean producers.
