The three new kudzurmaterials are for use in the determination of isoflavones, toxic elements, and selenium. For the isoflavones, these new kudzu materials provide higher levels of daidzin and daidzein than existing soy-related SRMs, and they provide a value for an isoflavone not in existing SRMs (puerarin). Toxic elements in RM 8650 and SRM 3268 provide new botanical matrixes for use by dietary supplement manufacturers for the verification of the safety of their raw materials.
