Antioxidant activities of soybean (Glycine max L.), sweet potato leaves (Ipomoea batatas L.) and red yeast rice (Monascus purpureus) functional drink in managing hyperlipidemia

Antioxidant activity is important in fighting oxidative damage caused by a high-fat diet. Dietary fat is associated with increased oxidative stress and risk of degenerative diseases. Soybean (Glycine max L.), sweet potato leaves (Ipomoea batatas L.) and red yeast rice (Monascus purpureus) contain phytochemical compounds that have strong antioxidant activities. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of soybean, sweet potato leaves, and red yeast rice functional beverage (SSR) by...
