soybean contains many other functional components (e.g.,
isoflavone and phosphatidylcholine) However, its
nutritional value is limited by the presence of antinutritional
factors such as tannins and enzyme inhibitors [2]. Previous
research demonstrated that seed germination could effectively
enhance the nutrient value of legumes [3,4]. During seed
germination, endogenous enzymes are synthesized or activated
to degrade biochemical components such as starch
and protein in plant organs, resulting in a significant accumulation
of micromolecules including g-aminobutyric acid
(GABA)
