Abstract
In terms of biological value and quality, soy fat meets the standard of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization. The aim of the study was to identify agro-climatic factors that affect the fatty acid composition of soybean seeds of the northern ecotype and to determine the variety that most corresponds to the group of food fat quality. Field experiments were conducted in 2017–2019 in the Ryazan region at the experimental base of the Institute of Seed Production and Agricultural Technologies-a branch of the FGBNU FNAC VIM. Varieties and forms of soybeans of the northern ecotype – Light, Mageva, Okskaya and M-52-were selected as objects of research. The results of the study. The average yield of soybean seeds for three years of research was from 1.81 to 2.57 t / ha for varieties, the fat content in the seeds was 19.4–21.5 %, the total harvest was 357–548 kg/ha. The fat of soybean seeds of varieties and forms of the northern ecotype contained 11.36–11.43 % palmitic acid and significantly less oleic acid-7.43–11.27 %. While in traditional varieties, the values of these indicators were 9.75 % and 24.80 %, respectively. In conditions of sufficient moisture (2017), the predominance of saturated palmitic acid in the fatty acid composition of seeds was observed, and in dry years (2018–2019) – unsaturated fatty acids – oleic, linoleic and linolenic, their sum was 73 % in dry years, with sufficient moisture – 67 %. Better illumination of the upper tiers of plants contributed to the activation of the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids. It was found that, according to the fatty acid composition, the Light soy variety is more close to the varieties of soy for food purposes.
