Popis: The two varieties of soybean (Soybean Bragg and Soybean JS-71-05) were collected from an industrial site (IS) and from a non-industrial site (NIS) for the study of their chemical composition and fatty acids profiles by gas liquid chromatography (GLC). These studies revealed large changes in the major and minor fatty acids of the soybean seeds due to the effect of chemical pollutants. There was a significant decrease in the amounts of major and minor fatty acids, such as myristic acid (14:0), palmitic acid (16:0) stearic acid (18:0), oleic acid (18:1), linoleic acid (18:2), and linolenic acid (18:3), in the seeds from industrial site. The changes in the chemical composition due to chemical pollutants showed mixed results.
