Soy isoflavones are phenolic compounds comprised of aglucones, ß-glucosides and ß-glucosides conjugated with malonyl and acetyl groups. The ß-glucosidases are a heterogeneous group of enzymes which hydrolyse ß-glucosidic links of oligosaccharides and other glucosides conjugates releasing glucose. Thus the objective…
