| Abstract:
Three formulas of Pueraria mirifica tuber fermented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae TISTR No. 5339 for one month were prepared. After fermentation, each formula of P. mirifica fermented juice was tested for sensory evaluation by 20 male and 15 female testers. It was found that the first choice of P. mirifica fermented juice which was chosen by male and female testers was formula 1. Three months later, each formula was tested again by 20 male and 15 female testers and it was found that both sexes of testers preferred formulas 1 and 3. Each formula was tested for the estrogenic potency in bilaterally ovariectomized immature rats. The results revealed that the potency ranking of estrogenic activities of PM fermented juice were formula 3, 1 and 2, respectively. | |
