with that in the raw soy germs, and the total isoflavones in
Monascus aged vinegar accounted for 21.41% of the total
isoflavones in raw soy germs.
The aforementioned total isoflavones constituted 55.52% daidzein
and its derivatives, and the change in total isoflavone forms
of soy germs plus Monascus aged vinegar during the incubation
in the vinegar were similar with their main constituents (daidzein
and its derivatives) (Fig. 3).
