Abstract
The objective of this study was to analyse the oil contents and composition of fatty acids (linolenic, stearic, oleic,
palmitic and linoleic acids) of 20 distinct soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) cultivars cultivated as the second crop
in Cukurova Delta in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. Soybean cultivars Ilksoy, Traksoy maturity group
II (MG: II), Atakisi, Arisoy, Cinsoy, Atem-7, Sa 88, Altinay, Asya, Bravo, Gapsoy, Kocaturk, Mitchell, Samsoy,
Kristal, Umut-2002 (MG: III), Adasoy, ANP 2018, Nazlican, Lider (MG:3.8) were used. Field tests of this study
were carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replications at the Eastern Mediterranean
Agricultural Research Institute's Dogankent-Adana location in 2020-2021. Years, genotypes, and year x
genotype interactions were all determined as significant in the variance analysis of the experiment's data. The
fatty acid content of soybean cultivars varied between 10.00 and 12.64% for palmitic acid, 4.15 and 5.17% for
stearic acid, 25.75 and 33.90% for oleic acid, 43.22 and 51.59% for linoleic acid, and 4.85 and 5.98% for linolenic
acid, according to a 2-years average. Soybean cultivars' oil content ranged from 23.12 to 24.78 percent.
