Abstract: The grass-beany flavor of soybean foodstuff is related to lipoxygenase(Lox);900 soybean cultivars in 26 provinces of China have been tested with IF:F-PAGE. The results show that there are lipoxygenase mutants in Chinese soybean cultivars,most of them are the seeds lacking Lox-3, moreover, rare materials lacking Lox-1, Lox-2, even Lox-2,3. The gels of IEF-PAGE are scanned by Ultroscan Laser Densitometer. The activity of Lox isoenzymes among the different soybean breeds is distinguished because of the different peak value of Lox isoenzymes.β-carotene bleaching technique is used to test the activity of lipoxygenase in the mutant soybean which have been selected by IEF-PAGE. Thus these materials can result in developing a batch of soybean cultivars which have desirable favor with good agronomic performance. That will be beneficial for enlarging regional production and food processing.

Key words: Soybean, Lox, IEF-PAGE, Activity, Area, Bleaching ability
