8-Hydroxygenistein

Description

8-Hydroxygenistein 8-OHG is an antioxidant that can effectively scavenge nitric oxide NO and superoxide anion O?? . 8-Hydroxygenistein belongs to ortho-dihydroxy isoflavones ODI and is abundantly present in dark soy sauce and light soy sauce. Its antioxidant activity is stronger than that of its parent compound genistein HY-14596 . The content of 8-Hydroxygenistein is positively correlated with the antioxidant capacity of soy sauce r = 0.959 , and it remains highly stable even after being heated in boiling water for 60 minutes. During the brewing and storage of soy sauce, 8-Hydroxygenistein effectively prevents oxidative damage, making it promising for use in food antioxidant research.
