Characterization of four soybean varieties grown on Mexican land: a preliminary analysis for a proteomic study
2010
Soybean is a source of high-quality proteins and fatty acids for animal and human nutrition. To satisfy the national demand of this crop it is necessary to increase the production of soybean by developing or selecting species that are resistant to adverse environmental conditions. Four soybean varieties customarily grown in Mexico were studied in a comparative manner. Each variety was characterized on the basis of impurities, grain integrity, water content, total and free fatty acids content, protein content, and germination capability following the methods and regulations indicated in NMX-FF-089-1994-SCFI, ISTA and AOAC. None of the soybean varieties presented impurities; Huasteca-100 soybean had a lower percentage of immature grains while the UFV-1 variety had the lowest number of grains damaged by microorganisms. Humidity contents were similar in all four soybean varieties (around 7%). The Huasteca-100 variety had some lower protein content while the UFV-1 variety had the maximum (39%). On the contrary...
