| Abstract | Isoflavones in red clover flowers were extracted and recovered using a new process that mainly comprised of ethanol extraction, membrane processing, micelle formation and drying. To obtain maximum isoflavone extraction an ethanol concentration between 40% and 50% in water was found to be optimal. The extracted isoflavones were processed by ultrafiltration for preliminary purification, and then concentrated by reverse osmosis. As ethanol was removed by evaporation, micelles were formed in the reverse osmosis retentate, which was dried to yield an isoflavoneenriched product. This product contained about 9% isoflavone highlighting its potential use as a direct nutraceutical supplement. |
