It has been found that the bioconversion or secondary metabolites during short time germination of seeds improve their nutritive values. Therefore, the legume seeds and their sprouts or whole grains and their young leaves are good sources of prebiotics, antioxidants and phytoestrogens. Lately, the Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy (N.H.R.T.) is used to treat the symptoms of postmenopause without the side effects, such as breast cancer, cardiovascular disease. To find the good sources of bioactive phytoestrogens from regular foods have been noticed and are on coming from the fields of nutrition, food science and clinical studies. Besides, dietary fibers in cereals and legumes recognized as prebiotics, which will lower intestinal pH and increase the absorption of Ca, which the osteoporosis may be prevented. The prebiotic also improve the flora of colon and increase the bioconversion of inactive phytoestrogen into bioactive forms. Therefore, black soybean, alfalfa and paddy rice are considered as good materials for the study of multifunctional foods for the postmenopausal women. The objectives of this project are as followings 1.Extraction and quantification of prebiotics and phytoestrogens in seed and sprout of legumes (black bean, soy, mung bean and azuki bean). 2.
