Soybean
The soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) is a specie of legume native
to Eastern Asia and introduced into Nigeria in 1908. With improvement in
breeding and processing research, soybean cultivation, domestic market,
processing and utilization have grown considerably in Nigeria.
Soybean has been recognized in the country as an important food crop that contains about 40 percent high quality protein and about 20per cent oil. Industrial and domestic processing of soybean has given rise to numerous products utilized for both human and animal consumption.
The importance of soybean in food security especially for the poor in
Nigeria cannot be overemphasized. It is the best source of plant
protein, substituting the animal-protein sources, which are usually
inadequate in supply for poor households.
Soybean is generally considered as a highly versatile grain which has
about 365 applications in the formulation of both human and other
industrial uses. Thus, the demand for soy-based products is expected to
be high in Nigeria especially among commercial consumers
in confectioneries industries.
These industries utilize soybean
in various forms such as bean, meal, cake and oil.
However cake and oil
forms are the most significant economically in the country.
