Soya Bean: Glycine max
Soybean is the world’s leading legume crop and is the most widely grown and productive grain legume in Europe (about 5.5 million ha in Europe; 830,000 ha in the EU). It has outstanding agronomic, food and feed quality characteristics and is supported by a strong research and innovation base represented in this consortium. Yield potential is high and yields are relatively stable with high protein concentration (40%) and oil (20%); the biological resource and intrinsic economic value per tonne of grain is high. Soya is already competitive with the major crops over a large part of southern Europe. Our goal is a long-term steady increase in protein yield per hectare. Besides feed and traditional soy-foods, numerous food applications have been developed for soybean protein extracts, soybean oil, or lecithin as valuable high potential ingredients in the food industry.
