\"Beans<\/em><\/p>\n

The\u00a0soybean<\/b>,\u00a0soy bean<\/b>, or\u00a0soya bean<\/b>\u00a0(Glycine max<\/i>)<\/sup>\u00a0is a species of\u00a0legume<\/a>\u00a0native to\u00a0East Asia<\/a>, widely grown for its edible\u00a0bean<\/a>, which has numerous uses.<\/p>\n

Traditional unfermented food uses of soybeans include\u00a0soy milk<\/a>, from which\u00a0tofu<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0tofu skin<\/a>\u00a0are made. Fermented soy foods include\u00a0soy sauce<\/a>,\u00a0fermented bean paste<\/a>,\u00a0natt\u014d<\/a>, and\u00a0tempeh<\/a>. Fat-free (defatted) soybean meal is a significant and cheap source of protein for animal feeds and many\u00a0packaged meals<\/a>. For example, soybean products, such as\u00a0textured vegetable protein<\/a>\u00a0(TVP), are ingredients in many meat and\u00a0dairy<\/a>\u00a0substitutes.<\/sup><\/p>\n

Soybeans contain significant amounts of\u00a0phytic acid<\/a>,\u00a0dietary minerals<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0B vitamins<\/a>.\u00a0Soy vegetable oil<\/a>, used in food and industrial applications, is another product of processing the soybean crop. Soybean is the most important protein source for feed farm animals (that in turn yields animal protein for human consumption).<\/sup><\/p>\n

Etymology<\/span><\/h2>\n

The word “soy” originated as a corruption of the\u00a0Cantonese<\/a>\u00a0or Japanese names for\u00a0soy sauce<\/a>\u00a0(Chinese<\/a>:\u00a0\u8c49\u6cb9<\/span>;\u00a0Jyutping<\/a>:\u00a0si6jau4<\/span><\/i>;\u00a0Cantonese Yale<\/a>:\u00a0sihy\u00e0uh<\/span><\/i>)\u00a0(Japanese<\/a>:\u00a0\u91a4\u6cb9<\/span>,\u00a0sh\u014dyu<\/i>).<\/sup><\/p>\n

The name of the genus,\u00a0Glycine<\/i>, comes from\u00a0Linnaeus<\/a>. When naming the genus, Linnaeus observed that one of the species within the genus had a sweet root. Based on the sweetness, the Greek word for sweet,\u00a0glyk\u00f3s<\/i>, was Latinized.<\/sup>\u00a0The genus name is not related to the amino acid\u00a0glycine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Classification<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"Varieties<\/a><\/figure>\n

The genus\u00a0Glycine<\/i>\u00a0may be divided into two subgenera,\u00a0Glycine<\/a><\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Soja<\/a><\/i>. The subgenus\u00a0Soja<\/i>\u00a0includes the cultivated soybean,\u00a0G.\u00a0max<\/i>, and the wild soybean, treated either as a separate species\u00a0G.\u00a0soja<\/a><\/i>,<\/sup>\u00a0or as the subspecies\u00a0G.\u00a0max<\/i>\u00a0subsp.\u00a0soja<\/i>.<\/sup>\u00a0The cultivated and wild soybeans are\u00a0annuals<\/a>. The wild soybean is native to\u00a0China<\/a>,\u00a0Japan<\/a>,\u00a0Korea<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Russia<\/a>.<\/sup>\u00a0The subgenus\u00a0Glycine<\/i>\u00a0consists of at least 25 wild\u00a0perennial<\/a>\u00a0species: for example,\u00a0G. canescens<\/a><\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0G. tomentella<\/a><\/i>, both found in\u00a0Australia<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Papua New Guinea<\/a>.<\/sup><\/sup>\u00a0Perennial soybean (Neonotonia wightii<\/a><\/i>) belongs to a different genus. It originated in Africa and is now a widespread pasture crop in the tropics.<\/sup><\/sup><\/sup><\/p>\n

Like some other crops of long domestication, the relationship of the modern soybean to wild-growing species can no longer be traced with any degree of certainty.<\/sup>\u00a0It is a\u00a0cultigen<\/a>\u00a0with a very large number of\u00a0cultivars<\/a>.<\/sup><\/p>\n

Chemical composition<\/span><\/h2>\n

Together,\u00a0protein<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0soybean oil<\/a>\u00a0content account for 56% of dry soybeans by weight (36% protein and 20%\u00a0fat<\/a>, table). The remainder consists of 30%\u00a0carbohydrates<\/a>, 9% water and 5%\u00a0ash<\/a>\u00a0(table). Soybeans comprise approximately 8% seed coat or hull, 90%\u00a0cotyledons<\/a>\u00a0and 2%\u00a0hypocotyl<\/a>\u00a0axis or germ.<\/sup><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
