“…Plant-derived flavonoids known as phytoestrogens are isoflavones, which have structural similarities to the hormone estrogen [23][24][25]. Their natural abundance is present in soybeans and other legumes, and they have been investigated for their potential health benefits [25][26][27]. Due to their potential to have both estrogenic and antiestrogen effects in the body, the phytochemistry of isoflavones is gaining much attention.…”

Flavonoids, a variety of plant secondary metabolites, are known for their diverse biological activities. Isoflavones are a subgroup of flavonoids that have gained attention for their potential health benefits. Puerarin is one of the bioactive isoflavones found in the Kudzu root and Pueraria genus, which is widely used in alternative Chinese medicine, and has been found to be effective in treating chronic conditions like cardiovascular diseases, liver diseases, gastric diseases, respiratory diseases, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer. Puerarin has been extensively researched and used in both scientific and clinical studies over the past few years. The purpose of this review is to provide an up-to-date exploration of puerarin biosynthesis, the most common extraction methods, analytical techniques, and biological effects, which have the potential to provide a new perspective for medical and pharmaceutical research and development.

The number of people with dietary restrictions on dairy products has increased significantly due to lactose intolerance/allergy or adoption of vegan diets. Organic acid-producing probiotics have been used in fermented beverages, such as those based on soy, with good results. Such molecules have in fact been described for their role in sensory analyses and benefits to human health. Therefore, this study suggested the evaluation of an alternative soy extract-based beverage that could act as a functional food. For this purpose, products and biomass concentrations were monitored throughout soy extract fermentation through acidification kinetics and cell count. The effect of inulin on the growth of the probiotic strains Bifidobacterium longum and Lactobacillus acidophilus in co-culture with Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus was evaluated (technical replicates). It was observed that the addition of inulin reduced the time of fermentation by L. acidophilus, while no statistically significant effect was observed in the post-acidification period. In B. longum fermentation, the process did not change in the presence of inulin, but there was a significant increase in viability and survival in the post-acidification period. Therefore, it can be concluded that the strains studied can be used in the formulation of soy-based drinks and that inulin positively influenced the viability of both probiotics in fermented drinks tested.
