General description

Genistin belongs to the class of isoflavone glycosides generally extracted from soybeans.

Application

Genistin has been used as an analytical reference standard for the analysis of genistin in:
  • Legumes by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) with electrospray ionization (ESI) source and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) detection.

It may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of genistin in:
  • Soy-based foods and dietary supplements by LC coupled to absorbance detection and isotope-dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS), equipped with ESI source and selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode.
  • Soy products by colloidal gold-based indirect competitive immunochromatographic assay (ICA).
  • Rainbow trout muscle by QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) extraction and LC-ESI-MS/MS.
  • Soybean flour by matrix solid phase dispersion extraction (MSPD) and LC with ultraviolet-diode array detection (UV-DAD).
  • Soymilk samples by HPLC-UV operating under the gradient elution mode.

Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. What is the lambda max for genistin and what is the molar extinction coefficient at that wavelength?

    1 answer
    1. We have data from our QC labs here at Sigma on one of the Genistin products we offer, G0897. The solvent is 85% ethanol/15% water, and the lambda max is typically 262.0 or 262.5 nm. We measured the molar extinction coefficients at the lambda max for four different lots of G0897 back in the 1990s, and the average value was 39,800 M-1.Genistin is a derivative of Genistein. There is an entry for Genistein in the chemicals encyclopedia published by the Royal Society of Chemistry, with information for Genistin under that heading.According to the chemicals encyclopedia published by the Royal Society of Chemistry, 14th edition, entry #4391, uv max (85% ethanol) 262.5 nm (a 90.5)".The value of ""a 90.5"" is the same as an E0.1%, or the extinction coefficient for a 1 mg/mL (or 1 gram per Liter) solution.If one multiplies 90.5 (L/g) by the molecular weight of genistin (432.38 g/mole), you get 39,130 M-1. This is pretty close to the value of 39,800 from our data above."
