Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a new soybean variety containing epicatechin with high content and having antioxidant and antiaging activities, a method for producing the new soybean variety, a composition containing an extract of the new soybean variety as an active ingredient, a functional health food containing the new soybean variety, a method for producing epicatechin from the new soybean variety, and a method for producing a commodity plant product. The seed of the new soybean (Glycine max) variety according to an aspect of the present disclosure contains epicatechin with a high content of 2 wt % or more based on the total weight of an 80 wt % ethanol aqueous solution of seed extract, exhibits 2 times or higher antioxidant activity confirmed by DPPH radical-scavenging ability than the mother plant IT109098, and exhibits superior collagenase (matrix metalloproteinase-1, MMP-1) expression inhibition as compared to EGCG, which is known as an antiaging substance.
