Abstract

The article presents the results of a study on the production of soybeans in the world and Kazakhstan. Data on the gross harvest and market share of the top 10 countries leading in the production of soybeans – Brazil, the USA and Argentina – account for 40, 30 and 13% of the world's gross soybean harvest. The average annual recommended consumption rate of legumes is 3-3.3 kg per person per year, this figure can be called an indicator for the formation of an appropriate agricultural and industrial development program, and is also an export potential for soybeans. Kazakhstani food consumers pay increased attention to the presence of GMO products, soybeans are most susceptible to gene correction (to increase productivity and disease resistance). Since even trace amounts of GMO raw materials affect the entire volume of commercial products in soybean meal samples obtained from domestic soybean oil producers, studies were conducted to determine the presence of genetically modified organisms. The polymerase chain reaction method was used to determine genetically modified organisms in soybean meal. The polymerase chain reaction test successfully detects even trace amounts of GMO raw materials and products. The presence of GMO was detected in the samples studied. The production of pure soy protein isolate and its derivatives requires its own closed ecosystem from seed production – commercial production of beans – deep processing of soybeans – storage – transportation.
