Isoflavones occurring in soybean seed have a positive effect on the health of
humans, especially in cancer prevention. This positive impact may be a result of their antioxidant
properties, estrogenic activity, or a combination of both mechanisms.
The purpose of this study was to quantify and compare levels of three major isoflavones in soybean seeds
from three sources (Alghab area, Faculty of Agriculture, imported from China).
