    Abstract:
    The utilization of major edible soy-waste (okara) remains a challenge due to its poor digestion, nutritional imbalance (lack of B-vitamins), and undesirable off-flavors. Herein, fresh okara was enzymatically hydrolyzed and then fermented using the B2-overproducing Lactiplantibacillus plantarum UFG169 strain. SEM micrographs showed the microporous and honeycombed structures on the surface of okara. The off-flavors were reduced, and the essential amino acids content was significantly increased in fermented okara. The higher β-glucosidase activity, increased aglycone isoflavones, and in situ riboflavin (B2) were associated with the enhanced antioxidant potential of the fermented okara. The in vitro digestion of okara resulted in reduced particle size, higher protein digestibility, improved aggregation, lower protein molecular chains, and increased polyphenols. Overall, our study indicated the improved nutrition and digestibility of B2 bio-enriched okara.
