          Abstract

          Tempeh is a food obtained by fermentation of soybean grains by the fungus Rizophus oligosporus. It is a traditional Indonesian food that presents benefits for human health protecting against diarrhea and chronic diseases. Tempeh processing includes dehulling, cooking, inoculation, and fermentation. In this study, chemical characteristics of tempeh prepared with soybean cultivars specially developed for human consumption (BRS 216, BRS 232, BRS 257, and BRS 267) were investigated. Soybean grains and tempeh obtained from these cultivars were analyzed for oil, protein, antinutrional factors, and isoflavone content. Cultivar BRS 216 presented the highest protein content in the grains (36.81%) and in tempeh (51.99%). On average, the protein content in tempeh increased 16% in relation to that of soybean grains. Isoflavone content was higher in the grains than in tempeh with significant differences among the cultivars. However, the aglycones content increased about 50% in tempeh (49.00 mg.100 g-1 on average) compared to that of raw material (soybean grains - 21.49 mg.100 g-1, on average). The content of Kunitz trypsin inhibitor (KSTI) reduced 83% in tempeh, on average, as compared to the value found in the grains. Phytic acid content was similar in both tempeh and the grains.

          O tempeh é um alimento obtido por meio da fermentação dos grãos de soja pelo fungo Rizophusoligosporus. É um alimento tradicional da Indonésia que apresenta benefícios para a saúde humana, protegendo contra a diarréia e doenças crônicas. O processamento de tempeh inclui descasque, cozimento, inoculação e fermentação. Nesse estudo, as características químicas de tempeh produzido com cultivares de soja especialmente desenvolvidas para alimentação humana, BRS 216, BRS 232, BRS 257 e BRS 267 foram investigadas. Os grãos das cultivares e os tempehs foram analisados quanto aos teores de óleo e proteína, fatores antinutricionais e teor de isoflavonas. A cultivar BRS 216 apresentou o maior teor de proteína no tempeh (51,99%) e nos grãos (36,81%). Em média, no tempeh, o teor de proteína aumentou 16%. O teor total de isoflavonas foi maior nos grãos do que nos tempehs, com diferenças significativas entre as cultivares. O conteúdo de isoflavonas agliconas aumentou em média cerca de 50% nos tempehs (49,00 mg.100 g-1 em média), quando comparados com a matéria-prima grãos de soja (21,49 mg.100 g-1 em média). O conteúdo de inibidor de tripsina de Kunitz (KSTI) apresentou uma redução de 83% nos tempehs em relação ao conteúdo observado nos grãos. Os teores de ácido fítico nos tempehs e nos grãos de soja foram semelhantes.

            Chemical modification of isoflavones in soyfoods during cooking and processing.

            The principal chemical forms of isoflavones in soybean are their 6''-O-malonyl-beta-glucoside (6OMalGlc) conjugates. Experiments were carried out to determine the best conditions for extraction of isoflavones from soyfoods and the effects of commercial processing procedures and of cooking on isoflavone concentrations and composition. Hot alcohol extraction of ground soybeans deesterified 6OMalGlc conjugates. Although room temperature extraction slowed the conversion, extraction at 4 degrees C for 2-4 h led to the highest yield of 6OMalGlc conjugates and the lowest proportion of beta-glucoside conjugates. Analysis of soyfood products by reversed-phase HPLC-mass spectrometry revealed that defatted soy flour that had not been heat treated consisted mostly of 6OMalGlc conjugates; in contrast, toasted soy flour contained large amounts of 6''-O-acetyl-beta-glucoside conjugates, formed by heat-induced decarboxylation of the malonate group to acetate. Soymilk and tofu consisted almost entirely of beta-glucoside conjugates; low-fat versions of these products were markedly depleted in isoflavones. Alcohol-washed soy-protein concentrates contained few isoflavones. Isolated soy protein and textured vegetable protein consisted of a mixture of all 3 types of isoflavone conjugates. Baking or frying of textured vegetable protein at 190 degrees C and baking of soy flour in cookies did not alter total isoflavone content, but there was a steady increase in beta-glucoside conjugates at the expense of 6OMalGlc conjugates. The chemical form of isoflavones in foods should be taken into consideration when evaluating their availability for absorption from the diet.
