Soybean Seed Coats: A Source of Ingredients for Potential Human Health Benefits-A Review of the Literature

Abstract: <p>Soybean seed coats are an underutilized byproduct from the commercial crushing of soybeans to make soymeal and soy oil. These seed coats constitute 7 to 10% of the weight of a bushel of soybeans so they provide a substantial opportunity to add value to each bushel. Overall, the United States produces approximately 6 million metric tons of seed coats each year. Biologically active compounds contained in soybean seed coats have been shown to prevent and or reduce macular degeneration, obesity, cancer, a… Show more

“…The seed coat of soybeans known as soybean hull is a byproduct of the soybean oil and soybean meal industry and constitutes about 10% of the whole seed (Duenas and others ). Soybean seed coats are a rich source of dietary fiber comprising of 86% polysaccharides such as pectin, cellulose, and hemicellulose along with polyphenols, phytic acid, vitamins, and minerals (Liu and others ; O'Bryan and others ). Polyphenols, secondary metabolites of plants, are found in abundance in fruits, vegetables as well as legumes such as soybeans and they impart color, flavor, and sensory properties like sweetness, bitterness, and astringency (Floridi and others ).…”

“…Soybean is among the major industrial, feed and food crops grown in every continent (Dugje et al, 2009). Soybeans contain 35-40% protein on a dry weight basis (O'Bryan et al, 2014). Soybean has all of the essential amino acids in adequate quantities except for methionine and tryptophan (Zarkadas et al, 2002) which makes soy products almost equivalent in the quality of the protein to animal sources but with far less saturated fat and zero cholesterol (Young, 1991 andZarkadas et al, 2007).…”

“…The consumption of 100 mL soya drink was converted into an intake of 5.8 g whole soybean; then by applying a factor of 8% (w/w), 5.8 g of whole soybean was converted to 0.46 g of soybean hull. The seed coat, removed during the hulling, constitutes 7–10% of the weight of unprocessed soybean seeds (O'Bryan et al., ). Finally, the 0.46 g intake of soybean hull was converted into 33 mg of SMT–Equivalent after application of the enzyme yield factor of 7.1% (w/w).…”
