Nutritional analysis of vegetable soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] accessions in Eastern India
The findings align with earlier studies reporting wide genotypic variation in protein, oil, sugar content and bioactive compounds of vegetable soybeans. However, unlike grain soybeans, the vegetable soybean genotypes showed higher oleic acid and lower linoleic acid, likely due to differences in harvest stage and seed maturity. Certain parameters showed ranges, comparatively lower than earlier studies, likely due to genotype-specific differences and agro-climatic conditions. These variations emphasize the need for region-specific screening to identify nutritionally rich and consumer-preferred cultivars.
