    Project summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Soybean (Glycine max<\/em> (L.) Merr.), in addition to being rich in nutritionally valuable proteins and essential fatty acids, is also a source of biologically active phytochemicals that positively effect on human health. The main objectives of project are: 1. Determine the antioxidant potential of soybean cultivars through the analysis of different phytochemicals (total phenols, flavonoids, tannins, and carotenoids), and to determine the composition of dominant polyphenols (isoflavones, flavonoids, and phenolic acids). 2. Assess the level of variability between cultivars under three years of field experiments and 3. Identify superior cultivars interesting for potential application in functional food and nutritional supplements production, which would increase the competitiveness of soy producers in the Republic of Croatia. 4. Compare the antioxidant potential and polyphenolic profile of soybean grains with previously obtained results on forage legumes to give a broad picture of legumes as rich source of natural antioxidants. This integrative approach will result in the publication of peer-reviewed articles with a high impact factor and increasing the research competitiveness of Institute through the establishment of a research platform.<\/p>\n

    Project aims<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The main hypothesis of the LEGOFIT project is that the variability of legumes bioactive phytochemicals composition can be used to identify superior cultivars as a source and\/or choice in the production of the functional food and\/or nutritional supplements.<\/p>\n
