Different physiological and genetic studies show that the variations in the accumulation of pigment-stimulating metabolites result in color differences in soybean seed coats. The objective of this study was to analyze the nutrient contents and antioxidant potential in black, brown, and green seed-coated soybeans. Significant variations in protein (38.9–43.3%), oil (13.9–20.4%), total sugar (63.5–97.0 mg/g seed), total anthocyanin (3826.0–21,856.0 μg/g seed coat), total isoflavone (709.5–3394.3 μg/g seed), lutein (1.9–14.8 μg/g), total polyphenol (123.0–385.8 mg gallic acid/100 g seed), total flavonoid (22.1–208.5 mg catechin/100 g seed), 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS; 275.0–818.8 mg Trolox/100 g seed), and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH; 96.3–579.7 mg Trolox/100 g seed) were found among the soybean genotypes. Ilpumgeomjeong2 contained the lowest protein but the highest oil and total sugar. The lowest oil-containing Wonheug had the highest protein content. Socheong2 was rich in all four variables of antioxidants. Anthocyanins were detected only in black soybeans but not in brown and green soybeans. The variation in isoflavone content was up to 5-fold among the soybean genotypes. This study could be a valuable resource for the selection and improvement of soybean because an understanding of the nutrient content and antioxidant potentials is useful to develop effective strategies for improving the economic traits; for example, the major emphasis of soybean breeding for fatty acids is to enhance the oleic and linoleic acid contents and to decrease linolenic acid content.
