ECODA project number: Oilseeds East Activity 6 Objectives: Chemical fingerprinting of high-quality food-grade soybean cultivars. Identification of metabolites/biomarkers associated with market and consumer preferences. Identification of genetic and environmental factors affecting the accumulation of biomarkers and selected key health-beneficial metabolites in soybean.
