Pueraria lobata is a leguminous plant, and its root is the raw material of Pueraria lobata soup, which has been used in traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times. According to medical classics, Pueraria lobata is sweet in taste and cool in nature, and its main functions are hangover relieving, spleen strengthening, hemostasis, headache, dizziness, abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting, anorexia, hematemesis and intestinal wind bleeding. Pueraria lobata is also processed into "Ge Fen strips", "Pueraria lobata cake" and other daily foods; The flower part is also used to make tempura, which has a faint floral fragrance and is very appetizing.

Among them, Pueraria lobata is rich in isoflavones, * * contains seven isoflavones, four of which contain glycosides (tectorigenin, tectorigenin 7-o- xylosyl glycoside, 6- hydroxygenistein-6,7- disaccharide glycoside, daidzein) and three kinds of aglycones (tectorigenin, daidzein, genistein).

Recently, animal studies have found that daidzein and genistein in soybean isoflavones can inhibit weight gain, change liver gene expression, affect lipolysis and biosynthesis, and fat cell metabolism. Interestingly, isoflavones in pueraria lobata have similar effects. The research results show that Pueraria lobata extract can reduce weight and resist fatty liver by inhibiting liver lipogenesis, promoting white adipose tissue lipolysis and brown adipose tissue thermogenesis.
