Glycitin is a glycosylated isoflavone naturally found in soybeans, where it coexists with genistin and daidzin. It is being studied for its antioxidant, mild estrogenic, and cardiovascular-protective properties. Its growing interest in nutraceutical formulations stems from its involvement in supporting women's hormonal health and its potential role in preventing menopausal symptoms.
Glycitin measurement is essential for:
- Standardize soy extracts or isoflavone mixtures
- Ensuring the quality of food supplements for hormonal or cardiovascular purposes
- Monitor bioavailability and metabolic transformation in clinical or preclinical studies
- Meeting regulatory or labeling requirements regarding isoflavone content
Available analysis methods
- HPLC-DAD: suitable for quantification in simple plant extracts
- LC-MS/MS: a more specific method for detecting trace amounts of glycitin in complex matrices (multi-component formulations, finished products)
Compatible matrices
- Dry or hydroalcoholic extracts of soy (Glycine max)
- Plant powders and standardized raw materials
- Capsules, tablets or drinks enriched with isoflavones
- Nutraceutical products formulated for hormonal, bone, or cardiovascular health
Industrial applications of dosing
- Development of soy-based or isoflavone-based food supplements
- Quality control of standardized plant extracts
- Formulation monitoring in functional phytoestrogen-based products
- Research and development in the field of women's health and aging
