Abstract

Naturally occurring pharmacological phytochemicals in soybean seeds are healthful and preventive played therapeutic role for several diseases. Several phytochemicals are potential in heart problems, cancers, obesity, osteoporosis, HIV’s and especially female menopause. These non-nutrients phytochemicals are natural products acts antioxidative and biological functional known as medifactors. Seeds owing richest naturally antioxidants properties contains mostly 1350-1573mg/100g total phenolic contents in which tatal flavonoids are 443-617mg and saponins 459-649mg respectivly. Trypsin inhibitors are 14.46-19.50mg/g protein which affects its proteins quality. Soybean seeds are richer source of peroxidase enzyme estimated 20.40-22.99PODU/g protein and lipoxygenase is 10.03-12.10 LOXU/g protein they contribute to important food quality characteristic such fresh beans and green odor.
