This study examined the effects of heat and pressure on the isoflavone content and profiles of soybeans and rice cooked together using an electric rice cooker (ERC) and an electric pressure rice cooker (EPRC). The total isoflavone content of the soybean–rice mixture after ERC and EPRC cooking relative to that before cooking was â¼90% in soybeans and 14–15% in rice. Malonylglucosides decreased by an additional â¼20% in EPRC-cooked soybeans compared to those cooked using the ERC, whereas glucosides increased by an additional â¼15% in EPRC-cooked soybeans compared to those in ERC-cooked soybeans. In particular, malonylgenistin was highly susceptible to isoflavone conversion during soybean–rice cooking. Total genistein and total glycitein contents decreased in soybeans after ERC and EPRC cooking, whereas total daidzein content increased in EPRC-cooked soybeans (p < 0.05). These results may be useful for improving the content of nutraceuticals, such as isoflavones, in soybeans.
