In the study of soy protein isolate (SPI) as a matrix for wound-dressing applications, posted in PubMed, found that The cytotoxicity and in vitro biocompatibility of these films were also
examined. The gentamicin release profiles exhibited a moderate burst
effect followed by a decreasing release rate, which was maintained for
at least 4 weeks, thus enabling a suitable bacterial inhibition effect.
The materials released from the films during an indirect cytotoxicity
test were found to be safe, except for a slight inhibitory effect in the
presence of high concentrations of glycerol. The biocompatibility test
showed confluent cell cultures in close proximity to the SPI films.

Equol status and blood lipid profile and Soy products
Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National

In teh study to show whether equol status determines the effectiveness of soy foods to lower LDL cholesterol and to raise HDL cholesterol, posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, showed that Soy foods reduced serum LDL cholesterol equally in both equol producers and nonproducers. However, in equol producers, ~35% of our study population, soy consumption had the added cardiovascular benefit of maintaining higher HDL-cholesterol concentrations than those seen in equol nonproducers. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00877825 (study 1), NCT00516594 (study 2), and NCT00256516 (study 3).

Vegetarian Breakfast Recipes and Menu Ideas
By
Donna J Jones
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. On a nice lazy
Saturday, or Sunday, I like to get up and cook a nice brunch for
everybody. Since I have become a vegan/ vegetarian due to food
allergies, I have had to rearrange my menus, and redo my favorite
recipes. These recipes are so fast and easy, and they are all very
tasty.
Here is a typical items you can include for your vegetarian/ vegan breakfast menu:
Hash browns
chocolate pancakes
very berry oatmeal
various fresh fruits
altered biscuit recipe
juice
soy or almond milk
Don't forget, you can make several kinds of baked breakfast items by substituting milk for soy or almond milk. I do this often when I make biscuit.
When I make hash brown, I do not peel my potatoes. I have a little scrub brush that I use just for food, and I thoroughly wash the potatoes with that. Then, I shred them. I mix in a little olive oil, salt and pepper and that's it. I have made an herbal version before with some rosemary and oregano added. It was quite tasty. Then, you heat up some vegetable oil in a pan and place a few heaps of potato shreds in a circle. You can see the sides of the bottoms start to brown, then you take spatula and flip them over.
For the chocolate pancakes here's my recipe:
1 C all purpose flour
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 C soy or almond milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 TBS vegetable oil
2 TBS margarine
2 oz 100% cocoa
1. In one bowl I mix the first three ingredients.
2. In another small bowl I put the margarine and chocolate pieces. Melt the margarine and cocoa together, then stir till smooth.
3. Add the milk, margarine mixture, oil, and vanilla extract and stir till it is all incorporated but still slightly lumpy.
4. Then I cook them on a lightly greased, or buttered pan.
Oatmeal is such an easy breakfast. I buy a huge tub of instant 1 minute quick cook oatmeal. I don't ever measure anything out, I just add whatever I want to my hearts content. I pour some oatmeal in my bowl, add a little salt, a little sweetener of my choice, top it off with frozen or fresh fruit, and some cinnamon. Then I pour in some soy or almond milk until the grains are covered. I then microwave the bowl for about 2 minutes. I take it out, stir it, and I have a delicious nutritious meal, in about 3 minutes from start to finish!

Soy protein in the management of hyperlipidemia
Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National
Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health
In the study to review the effects of soy on blood lipids and to provide guidance on the clinical relevance of soy's health effects with respect to hyperlipidemia, posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, indicated that Soy can improve blood lipid parameters in both normocholesterolemic and hypercholesterolemic subjects, although the use of soy alone may not allow patients with hyperlipidemia to achieve target lipid parameters, as indicated by the National Cholesterol Education Program. Further study is warranted for the use of soy in combination with traditional hyperlipidemic medications.

Soy isoflavones and plasma lipids in normocholesterolemic and mildly hypercholesterolemic
Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National
Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health
In the study to examine the effects of soy isoflavone consumption on plasma concentrations of triacylglycerol, apolipoprotein (apo) A-I, apo B, lipoprotein(a), and total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol and on LDL peak particle diameter in normocholesterolemic and mildly hypercholesterolemic postmenopausal women, posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, found that Consumption of isoflavones as a constituent of ISP resulted in small but significant improvements in the lipid profile in normocholesterolemic and mildly hypercholesterolemic postmenopausal women. Although the effects were small, it is possible that isoflavones may contribute to a lower risk of coronary heart disease if consumed over many years in conjunction with other lipid-lowering strategies.

Enhanced antioxidative activity of soybean koji
Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National
Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health
In the study to evaluate the soybean koji fermented with various GRAS filamentous fungi, including Aspergillus sojae BCRC 30103, Aspergillus oryzae BCRC 30222, Aspergillus awamori, Actinomucor taiwanensis and Rhizopus sp, posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, showed that depending on starter organism, various extents of mycelia propagation (35.23-86.29 mg/g koji) were noted after 3 days of fermentation. Total phenolic content increased in soybean after fermentation. Koji also displayed enhanced antioxidative activates in comparison with the non-fermented soybean. Among the five kinds of koji tested, those fermented with Asp. awamori exhibited the highest levels of DPPH-free radicals scavenging activity, Fe2+-chelating ability and reducing power. The DPPH-free radicals scavenging activity and Fe2+-chelating ability of this soybean koji was ca. 8.9 and 6.7 fold that of the control. Analysis of the dose-response effect also revealed that before reaching a threshold point, there is a linear relationship between increases in antioxidative activity and increases in the concentration of the koji extract.

Quality, antioxidative ability, and cell proliferation-enhancing activity
Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National
Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health
In the study to examine the 3 potential culture mediums in the fermentation of black soybean and the fermented black soybean broths for the examination of amino acid composition, total phenolics content, flavonoids and anthocyanins contents, the antioxidant properties, and cytotoxicity, posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, indicated that the fermented black soybean broth, fermentation III, have the most abundant essential amino acid (79.77 mg/g), phenolics (19.33 mg/g), flavonoids (46.01 mg/g), and anthocyanins (1.06 mg/g). Besides, all of the fermented black soybean broths exhibited the significant antioxidative abilities with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging effect, reducing power and ferrous ion chelating effect. In addition, the fermented black soybean broths demonstrated the cell proliferation-enhancing activity in Detroit 551 cells. The cells were augmented up to the maximum value of 183.6% (compared with control) at 10 mg/mL of the fermentation I. Therefore, the different supplemental culture medium fermented black soybean broths may be used as a functional ingredient in the products of nutritional drinks and health foods. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: The present study illustrated the potential of various supplemental culture medium fermented black soybean broths in the application of functional ingredient for nutritional drinks and health foods.
