Soybean lipoxygenase‐1 activity was determined in the presence of the flavonoid compounds quercetin, rutin and kaempferol, and with caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid, which are cinnamic acids. All flavonoids and related compounds resulted in at least 10% inhibition of lipoxygenase activity on an equal weight basis. Inhibition of lipoxygenase‐1 activity by flavonoids and cinnamic acids was compared to inhibition by butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydrox‐ytoluene (BHT). Kaempferol, caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid showed inhibition comparable to that of BHT. On an equimolar basis, rutin was the most effective inhibitor of lipoxygenase activity.
