Abstract:The routine method (Oil content:"remains method"; Protein content:Kajadal method) and the near-IR method for determination for coarse oil and protein contents were compared and analysed in this paper. The results indicated that:the coarse oil and protein contents of soybeans determined by routine method and that by the near-IR was not significantly different. Therefore, the near-IR could be substitute for the routine method, The colour of soybean seed coat had no effect on accuracy of determination by the near-IR.
