Abstract: 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.
