All experiments were performed in triplicates. Values (in the same column) not marked by the same letter are significantly different (p < 0.05; n = 3).

a

Aglycosylation rate (%) = (increased molarity of isoflavone aglycones/decreased molarity of the corresponding glycosylated isoflavone) × 100%.

b

Aglycone (%) in the total isoflavones = (the amount of aglycones/the total amount of initial isoflavones) × 100.
