Analysis of protein and oil content in seeds of soybean collection varieties

Abstract

The global need for food and protein is increasing as an expected consequence of the growth of the human population in the world, which by 2050 will reach 9 billion people. Already, about 1 billion people in the world are chronically malnourished. Field research was carried out in 2017-2021 on the experimental field of the Research Institute of Selection, Seed Production and Agricultural Technology of Cotton Growing. In the mid-early ripe variety sample CH3(-008), the protein content was medium protein (38.16%), and the oil content was medium oil (18.66%); in variety US-25 (-622), the protein content (40.00%) was above the average level, and the oil was medium oil and amounted to 19.05%. Intervarietal variation of protein was 1.0%, oil 1.56%. The minimum total indicator of protein and oil in soybean grain was 57.44±0.40 (Arletta variety), the maximum was 60.00±32.0% (Sparta variety).
