1983
Hafez, Youssef S.
Extract: Fifty five varieties and strains of soybeans were analyzed for protein and oil contents. Nineteen varieties and strains were selected for determining trypsin inhibitors, lipoxygenase activities, fatty acids and amino acids. The protein contents ranged from 39.03 to 51.23 gm/100 gm dry matter. The oil contents ranged from 11.96 to 21.50 gm/100 gm dry matter. High correlation between protein and oil contents was calculated. In 19 varieties and strains of soybean, trypsin defatted sample, and lipoxygenase activity ranged from 4354 to 9521 units/mg defatted sample. The correlations between lipoxygenase activity and oil content of the seeds was 41.7% between lipoxygenase activity and total unsaturated fatty acids was 26.2% and between lopoxygenase activity and linoleic acid was 56.6%.
