Myricetin was detected the most resveratrol whereas detected the least amount which was less than 0.2% of the total amount among all medicinal soybean samples. Total average isoflavone content was 35910.56㎍/g and the most and least isoflavone was detected in No. 15 (996.66 ㎍/g ) and No.9 (476.18㎍/g )respectively . Malonylgenistin was detecteded the most genistein whereas detected the least amount which was less than 0.02 % of the total amount in all medicinal soybean samples.
