In this work, we adopted a facile approach via Monascus aged
vinegar soaking and achieved high conversion efficiency of b-glycosides
conjugates to aglycones forms, and the proportion of aglycones
forms were further increased from 1.18% (raw soy germs),
36.8% (vinegar soaking) and 51.34% (recovered vinegar soaking)
(Table 1). Herein, a schematic illustration of the interconversion
pathway of isoflavones forms in soy germs via vinegar soaking
approach was proposed (Fig. 5)
