Screening of Soybean Germplasm Accessions for Low Lipoxygenase and Kunitz Trypsin Inhibitor Activities

In soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], anti-nutritional factors such as Lipoxygenase (LOX) and Kunitz trypsin inhibitors (KTi) affects its protein quality and limit their utilization in food uses. Lipoxygenase is an enzyme for the beany flavor of soybeans and KTI functions as a protease inhibitor. In this study, we screened 908 soybean germplasms to identify soybean accessions containing low LOX and KTi activities
