Soybean Cultivar SCEL-1 Antioxidant Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a demand for a new soybean cultivar with enhanced antioxidant activity and distinct physiological functions compared to existing soybeans, as current soybeans do not effectively address oxidative stress and lipid profile management.
Innovation Solution
The development of soybean Glycine max (L.) Merrill cultivar SCEL-1, which contains cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, procyanidin B2, and epicatechin, with a higher amount of procyanidin B2, and a method for producing a composition using an extraction process with water or C1-C6 alcohol, to provide antioxidation, hepatocyte protection, and reduction of cholesterol, HDLs, LDLs, and triglycerides.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional soybean varieties are used, then basic nutritional requirements are met, but antioxidant activity and physiological functions are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by selecting and breeding soybean plants with specific chemical composition parameters - particularly high concentrations of procyanidin B2, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, and epicatechin. This transforms the conventional soybean's chemical profile to achieve enhanced antioxidant activity while maintaining nutritional value, directly resolving the contradiction between basic nutrition and antioxidant functionality.
2Quantity of substance
If existing soybean extracts are used, then general nutritional value is provided, but hepatocyte protection and lipid management effects are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs extraction methodology to isolate and concentrate the bioactive components (procyanidin B2, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, and epicatechin) from the soybean plant material. This extraction process selectively removes the hepatocyte-protective and lipid-managing compounds while leaving behind bulk nutrients, thereby providing concentrated functional materials with enhanced therapeutic effects.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The soybean cultivar SCEL-1 and its derived composition demonstrate significant antioxidant activity and effectiveness in reducing liver damage and lipid levels, offering potential health benefits for liver protection and lipid management.
Implementation Method 1
an extract obtained by performing an extraction process on a soybean cultivar seed by using water, C1-C6 alcohol, or a mixture thereof
