Abstract
The present invention provides a process for producing an aglucone isoflavone enriched vegetable flour or grit from a vegetable material containing isoflavone glucosides. A vegetable material containing isoflavone glucosides is slurried in water and the isoflavone glucosides are contacted with an enzyme effective to convert isoflavone glucosides to aglucone isoflavones. A vegetable flour or grit containing the aglucone isoflavones is recovered from the slurry.
