Soybean is the second largest acreage crop in the United States (29%), right after corn (35%) according to the American Soybean Association [1]. Soybean is widely consumed in the world, particularly in Asian countries. The various soybean products could be separated in‐ to non-fermented and fermented soybean products. The non-fermented soybean products include soymilk, tofu, yuba, soybean sprou...

Abstract Drawing on decades of participant observation, followed by ethnographic research in Novoalexeevka (the Russian Far East), this article reveals why and how a polyphonic assemblages’ economy (economic relations different from both socialist capitalist) was substituted plantation capitalism. The story is that assemblage involved almost all the villagers, while capitalism, them fell waysid...

Soybeans are rich in proteins and lipids often called “meat of the field.” Green soybeans, which immature also highly nutritious contain high levels carotene vitamin C. In Japan, green soybeans used to be harvested consumed from May November; however, with development freezing storage technologies, they now available throughout year. Globally, there has been an increase consumption soybean food...

An elicitor of glyceollin accumulation in soybeans (Glycine max L.) has been isolated from a commercially available extract of brewers' yeast. Yeast is not a known pathogen of plants. The elicitor was isolated by precipitation in 80% (v/v) ethanol followed by column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, sulfopropyl-Sephadex, and concanavalin A-Sepharose. Compositional and structural analysis showed...

Phase transitions were measured in vesicles of phospholipids, alone and in various combinations, and in pelleted mitochondrial membranes, using thermal (DSC) and optical methods. The objective was to consider their possible involvement in chilling injury of soybeans (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv Wayne 1977). Saturated phospholipids showed clear transitions in the temperature range of 50 degrees C ...

Population changes of Heterodera glycines eggs on soybean in small field plots were influenced by the lepidopterous insect pest, Helicoverpa zea; however, few effects on eggs due to the presence of annual weeds were detected. Soybeans defoliated 15-35% by H. zea during August remained green and continued to produce new flowers and pods later into the season than soybeans without H. zea, resulti...

Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of EcoRI-and ClaI-digested chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) within the genus Glycine subgenus Soja were characterized. Two mutations were found to be responsible for the EcoRI and ClaI restriction site polymorphisms, and both were located in a region in which many ribosomal protein genes are clustered. This region is within the large single copy region o...

The hypothesis of this experiment was that increasing dietary fat through the use of whole oilseeds and altering the dietary ratio of PUFA:saturated fatty acids would alter carcass composition of finishing steers. Seventy-two steers (443.6 +/- 1.0 kg) were fed for 76 d one of four dietary treatments: a corn/ soybean meal-based diet (NOFAT); two diets containing 16% (DM basis) whole raw soybeans...

Pot experiments showed that Rhizobium japonicum cells entrapped in a polyacrylamide gel could be used as an inoculant for soybeans and compared favorably to laboratory-made peat base inoculant containing the same bacterial strain.

The application of 20 kHz high-intensity ultrasound during extraction of oil from two varieties of soybeans (TN 96-58 and N 98-4573) using hexane, isopropanol and a 3:2 hexane–isopropanol mixture was evaluated. In a simplified extraction procedure, ground soybeans were added to solvents and ultrasonicated between 0 and 3 h at ultrasonic intensity levels ranging from 16.4 to 47.6 W/cm. Oil was r...
