Estrogenic Activity of Glycitein, a Soy Isoflavone [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 1999 Glycitein (4',7-dihydroxy-6-methoxyisoflavone) accounts for 5-10% of the total isoflavones in soy food products. The biological activity of this compound has not been reported to date, although numerous studies have been performed with the other soy isoflavones, daidzein and genistein. Glycitein was isolated from soy germ to 99% purity.

Metabolism of Glycitein (7,4‘-Dihydroxy-6-methoxy-isoflavone) by Human Gut Microflora [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2005 Gut microbial disappearance and metabolism of the soy isoflavone glycitein, 7,4'-dihydroxy-6-methoxyisoflavone, were investigated by incubating glycitein anaerobically with feces from 12 human subjects. The subjects' ages ranged from 24 to 53 years with a body mass index (BMI) of 20.9-25.8 kg/m(2) (mean BMI = 24.0 +/- 1.1 kg/m(2)).

Isoflavone Glycitein Diminished Plasma Cholesterol in Female Golden Syrian Hamsters [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2007 The soybean isoflavones, daidzein, genistein, and glycitein, were hypothesized to act as cholesterol-lowering components, separate from soy protein. Pure synthetic daidzein, genistein, or glycitein (0.9 mmol/kg diet) or a casein-based control diet was fed to groups of 10 female Golden Syrian hamsters for 4 weeks.

Identification of Genes Responsible for the Synthesis of Glycitein Isoflavones in Soybean Seeds
PlantsSoybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) isoflavones are among the most important secondary metabolites, with functional benefits for human health. Soybeans accumulate three aglycone forms of isoflavones: genistein, daidzein, and glycitein.

Impact of Iron (II) Chloride Treatment on the Physical and Metabolic Changes in Mungbean Sprouts. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrFeCl2 treatment darkened the seed coat color of mungbean sprouts without significantly affecting physical traits compared with the control (CK). In contrast, isoflavone aglycone contents were markedly increased, particularly in the seed coat and cotyledon.

Molecular Understanding of Solvents and Glycitein Interaction during Extraction [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2019 Hydrogen bonding interaction plays a crucial role in liquid systems. Methanol, ethanol, and acetone are the most commonly used solvents to extract isoflavones from soybeans. The structural and electronic properties of the molecular clusters of naturally occurring glycitein with solvents were investigated using the density functional theory method ...
