The present invention aims to provide a food containing, as a main ingredient, a foodstuff produced in developing regions with many malnourished patients, specifically at least one kind of grain selected from the group consisting of soybean, maize and sorghum, which contains sufficient protein/amino acid nutrients, is easy to take even without water, and provides a high improving effect on malnutrition (especially severe acute malnutrition).

The present invention relates to a food containing at least one grain selected from the group consisting of soybean, maize and sorghum, lysine or a salt thereof, glutamine or a salt thereof, and methionine or a salt thereof.

Disclosed is the seed of a novel soybean variety, designated SM14299337, a sample of which is deposited under ATCC Accession No. Also disclosed are plants, or parts thereof, grown from the seed of the variety, plants having the morphological and physiological characteristics of the SM14299337 variety, and methods of using the plant or parts thereof in a soybean breeding program.

The invention relates to a process for preparing a reduced calorie beverage or food product employing fermentation of a plant-derived juice or liquid and removing the ethanol therefrom. This invention also relates to an apparatus for performing the process for preparing a reduced calorie beverage or food product and to the reduced calorie juices and juice products created using this process and apparatus.

A new method describing the preparation of protein concentrates from oilseeds particularly soybeans and soybean meal is disclosed. The method differs from current methods in that the method uses a combination of novel retention times and temperatures. Further, the method can be employed to refrain from the use of solvents such as hexane and ethanol.

The invention overcomes the deficiencies of the art by providing a soybean plant with non-transgenic mutations conferring decreased -subunit of -conglycinin content and increased -subunit content of -conglycinin in seed. Moreover, the invention provides an agronomically elite soybean plant with non-transgenic mutations conferring a gyclinin null phenotype, increased -conglycinin content, and increased -subunit content of -conglycinin in the seed. The invention also provides derivatives, and plant parts of these plants and uses thereof. Methods for producing such plants are also provided.

The invention overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art by providing methods for marker assisted selection to create plants of a soybean variety that exhibit a mid/low linolenic acid content with a commercially significant yield and an agronomically elite phenotype. The invention also provides derivatives and plant parts of these plants. Further provided by the invention are methods for the use of these plants. The invention is significant in that oil with decreased linolenic acid exhibits numerous beneficial characteristics yet prior art varieties with decreased linolenic acid also exhibited decreased yield and poor agronomic quality.

The invention overcomes the deficiencies of the art by providing a soybean plant with non-transgenic mutations conferring decreased -subunit of -conglycinin content and increased -subunit content of -conglycinin in seed. Moreover, the invention provides an agronomically elite soybean plant with non-transgenic mutations conferring a gyclinin null phenotype, increased -conglycinin content, and increased -subunit content of -conglycinin in the seed. The invention also provides derivatives, and plant parts of these plants and uses thereof. Methods for producing such plants are also provided.

Recombinant DNA constructs comprise plastidic carbonic anhydrase coding sequences operably linked to polynucleotides encoding DGAT or transcription factors such as ODP1. These constructs can be used to increase oil content in plants and seeds to levels that are not achieved with DGAT alone.

Methods of generating plants containing the constructs and for increasing oil content in the seeds of an oilseed plant are also disclosed.

The invention provides a transgenic soybean event MON 87708 plant and plants, plant cells, seeds, plant parts, and commodity products derived from event MON 87708. The invention also provides polynucleotides specific for event MON 87708 and plants, plant cells, seeds, plant parts, and commodity products comprising polynucleotides specific for event MON 87708. The invention also provides methods related to event MON 87708.

The present invention relates to a food comprising soybean powder and an edible fat or oil. More specifically, the present invention relates to a food in which the edible fat or oil contains a triglyceride with a medium-chain fatty acid(s) at a ratio of 50% by mass or higher relative to the mass of the edible fat or oil. In particular, the present invention relates to a food which is reduced in beany flavor, grassy flavor, astringency, oily feeling (oiliness), oily odor, and the like, which has a good flavor, and which is improved in feel-on-the-tongue, mouthfeel, milkiness, melt-in-the-mouth, smoothness, and richness, and to a method for producing the food. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for improving a flavor originated from soybean powder in a food comprising the soybean powder and an edible fat or oil.
