| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We analyzed the isoflavone composition of groundnuts and examined the effective use of the plant. The results showed that groundnut roots, which are commonly removed and discarded, had a unique isoflavone profile different from that of the tubers and, interestingly, exhibited high antioxidant activity, suggesting the potential food applications of groundnut roots as well as tubers. We then used groundnuts as an ingredient in bread, and found that isoflavone glycosides from groundnuts were converted to their aglycones, more bioavailable forms, during fermentation. The use of groundnuts in bread-making may be an effective way to improve the absorption efficiency of the health-promoting components.
