The present research work was related to few problems; those were related to near about all sectors. As per the quote “Need is the Mother of Invention”, we partially solved the problem of above mention sectors through our research. Selection of this research work was initiated from patients those have DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis), Heart Disease, Arteriosclerosis etc. Nattokinase (subtilisin NAT, NK), a potent fibrinolytic enzyme, was primarily isolated from a traditional fermented food “natto” in Japan. The enzyme is a subtilisin-like serine protease composed of 275 amino acid residues and has a molecular weight of 27.7 kDa. Fermented cheese-like food, Natto has been formed by fermentation by inoculating the bacterium Bacillus natto in the boiled soybeans. The resulting nattokinase enzyme is produced when the bacterium acts on the soybeans (Sumi et al., 1987). Nattokinase is a serine end peptidase with a molecular weight of 20,000 Daltons and having isoelectric point (pI) is 8.6. Nattokinase potentiates fibrinolytic activity. In other words, it could dissolve fibrin. Fibrin is a protein involved in the clotting of blood that is polymerized to form a "mesh" that forms a haemostatic plug or clot (in conjunction with platelets). Fibrin is made from fibrinogen and it is a soluble plasma glycoprotein synthesized by the liver. Nattokinase prevents aggregation of red blood cells. Specifically, Nattokinase supports the fibrinolytic clearing system in the body which is responsible for healthy circulation, by helping to break down fibrin protein deposits in the bloodstream to promote and enhance healthy blood flow. Nattokinase facilitates blood flow contributing to healthy circulation and balance to maintain normal blood pressure.

Soybeans represent an excellent source of high-quality protein with a low content in saturated fat. They can be made into various foods, such as tofu, miso, breakfast cereals, energy bars, and soy cakes. Much research has been carried out on the positive health effects of soybeans, and increasing evidence shows that consumption of soybeans may reduce the risk of osteoporosis, have a beneficial role in chronic renal disease, lower plasma cholesterol, and decrease the risk of coronary heart disease. Phytochemicals in Soybeans: Bioactivity and Health Benefits describes in detail the chemical characteristics of health-promoting components of soybeans and soybean products, their impacts on human health, and emerging technologies about soybean processing and new products. With 22 chapters containing the most recent information associated with soybean products, topics of the chapters include soybeans’ role in human nutrition and health, their composition and physicochemical properties, action mechanism of their physiologic function, processing engineering technology, food safety, and quality control. Key Features: Promotes soybean products as functional food with advanced processing technology Presents the basic research containing the experimental design, methods used, and a detailed description of the results. Provides a systematic approach to the subject to facilitate a better comprehension of the subjects with illustrations and diagrams Includes a comprehensive and up-to-date list of references With contributions from authors around the world who are experts in their field, this book contains new information on the health impacts of soybean consumption, new product development, and alternative technologies of soybean processing, and will be useful for professors and researchers, as well as graduate and undergraduate students alike.
