The present invention concerns isoflavones and related compounds useful as antioxidants and in antioxidant compositions including edible fats and oils. Many of these compounds can be recovered from tempeh, a fermented soybean product. Others can be prepared by chemical modification of those recovered from tempeh. Additionally, all of the compounds can be chemically synthesized. The compounds of the present invention may be used to provide enhanced stability for a wide range of substances subject to oxidative deterioration including edible food products, oils and fats.
