In addition, as shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, FSW extract exhibited
greater protection for supercoiled DNA than USW; the
extract of USW showed supercoiled DNA of 45.00 ± 2.19%, while
a significantly higher (p < 0.05) supercoiled DNA of 57.91 ± 1.62%
was noted for the extract of FSW. It was also reported by Singh
et al. (2010) and Xiao et al. (2014) that fermented legume extracts
showed higher DNA damage protection than unfermented
legume extracts due to higher phenolic and isoflavone aglycone
contents in the fermented samples
