Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Foliar sodium selenite at 200 and 400 mg/L significantly increased soybean Se levels.
- Intervention effect Different Se rates gave no significant difference in soybean yield.
- Intervention effect The highest sodium selenite rate of 600 mg/L reduced soybean yield.
- Intervention effect The highest sodium selenite rate of 600 mg/L caused selenium toxicity in soybean plants.
- Intervention effect Foliar sodium selenite significantly increased crude lipid content of soybean.
- Intervention effect Foliar sodium selenite increased soybean linoleic acid to about 1%.
- Observation Essential amino acids and Se-amino acids of soybean were trending to rise.
- Intervention effect Separated soybean protein made from Se-enriched soybean had 7.487 μg/g Se.
- Intervention effect Soybean milk powder made from Se-enriched soybean had 1.023 μg/g Se.
- Intervention effect Soybean sprouts made from Se-enriched soybean had 1.033 μg/g Se.
- Intervention effect Dried soybean curd made from Se-enriched soybean had 1.412 μg/g Se.
- Observation Waste material of soybean food contained 0.975 to 1.626 μg/g Se.
- Recommendation The authors suggest soybean separated protein as an organic selenium source for functional food.
- Recommendation Waste material of soybean food is expected to be a safe Se-enriched source for livestock foodstuffs.
