A method of producing an enriched flavonoid aglycone extract from starting
material containing a suitable flavonoid glycoside and/or conjugate
thereof comprising the steps of: (i) enzymatically converting the
flavonoid glycoside or conjugate thereof into the flavonoid aglycone;
(ii) adjusting the pH to render the flavonoid aglycone soluble and
removing the insoluble fraction; and (iii) adjusting the pH to render the
soluble flavonoid aglycone relatively insoluble and forming an extract
containing the same.
