Abstract
Glycine max (soybean) is a fundamental food in human nutrition, largely utilized by the consumers, and in particular, fermented soy is mainly used. However, health benefits of the products can change during the shelf life as oxidation processes occur determining alterations of protein and lipid constituents leading to a decrease of nutritional quality. Therefore, the oxidative stability of the fermented soy during the shelf life was studied. The antioxidant potential of this product was evaluated by estimating total phenols, free radical scavenger activity using DPPH and ABTS tests, and the degree of lipid peroxidation, from I up to IX weeks. The antioxidant capacity after an initial decrease, increased again at VII-IX weeks. Lipid peroxidation was evaluated by comparing non fermented and fermented soy. The results disclosed a low amount of peroxides in the fermented soy, suggesting that fermentation brings to an improvement of the product associated to a decreased lipid peroxidation at longer times. Fractions of aqueous extract, obtained at the end of the shelf life from fermented soy, showed an enrichment in antioxidant peptides.
