Abstract – Increased consumption of soyfoods and the world's health problems related to high
cholesterol levels, justify surveys to assess levels of fatty acids in soybean grains. Soybean presents
high concentration of essential unsaturated acids (oleic, linoleic, and linolenic). In this work, contents
of protein, oil and the fatty acids, palmitic (16:0), stearic (18:0), oleic acid (18:1Δ9c), linoleic acid
(18:2Δ9c,12c) and α-linolenic acid (18:3Δ9c,12c,15c) were determined in seeds of 235 Brazilian
soybean cultivars, which were analysed and classified as high, medium, low and very low content of
fatty acid. All these variables were standardized to an average equal to zero and variance equal to
one. For this study, it was use, 50 cultivars with high content of fatty acids. To evaluate the seven
responses variables, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method was applied and a linear
combination that measures total variation of the variables, Cluster Analysis (CA), biplot graphic, and
communality, were considered. Based on a Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), biplot method
permits to present in the same graph, response variables and treatments, indicating the contribution
of both according to its components. The exploratory analysis do not indicated a normal distribution
for the oleic acid and linoleic acid. It was observed a strong negative correlation (-0.95) between oleic
and linoleic acids. A negative correlation (-0.48) between protein and oil contents were also observed.
Negative correlations among these compounds are common in soybean. The remaining correlations
ranged from 0.01 to 0.29. By cluster analysis with the method of k-means, Euclidean distance and
complete linkage, allowed the cut off level for the five linkage distance in the dendrogram (Fig. 1). The
highest variability was found for protein (SD = 1.15) and for linoleic acid (SD = 1.10). In the Principal
Component Analysis (PCA) was considered the first three eigenvalues greater than and equal to 1.0,
which totalize 71.53% of the explained variance (PCA1 = 29.06, PCA2 = 23.76 and PCA3 = 18.71%).
The highest average communality for these first three components were 0.99 for the oleic acid and
0.91 for the linoleic acid. It was observed that the response variables that most contributed to this
study were the contents of protein, oleic acid and linoleic acid. Cultivars that responded for protein
were 1 – MSBRS 169, 22- Campos Gerais , 30-IAC 1, 13-CEP 26, 26-FT Líder. For fatty acids the
cultivars were 1-MS BRS 169, 2-FT Sarayba, 3-FT Guaira, 4-Ocepar 6, 5-FT Cometa, 6- Ocepar 13
and 7-BR 38. The fatty acids with low contribution were: palmitic acid and linolenic acid (Fig. 2). By
using multivariate methods associated with the biplot, it was possible to indicate cultivars with higher
levels of protein, oil and fatty acids.
