Abstract A profile of the sensory characteristics of greensoybean and consumer intent of purchasing the productwere determined. Thirty-one green soybean genotypesfrom maturity groups III to VI harvested between R6and R7 were frozen, boiled, shelled, and evaluated forcolor, texture, sweetness, nuttiness, beaniness,oiliness, aftertaste and overall eating quality bythree sensory panels. Results showed highly significant (p〈0.01) variabilities among the genotypes in allsensory parameters and highly significant correlationsamong several parameters. The green soybeans, whenboiled, ranged from lightly green to green, wereslightly resistant to chewing, slightly nutty,slightly beany, not oily, imparted a pleasantaftertaste and had a fairly good overall eatingquality. The green soybeans would be potentiallyacceptable as a vegetable in the frozen state and foruse in recipes. When selecting genotypes forproduction, consideration should be given to thesensory attributes of the genotypes, because there wassignificant variability among the characteristics ofthe green soybeans, and several characteristicstogether enhanced the overall acceptability of thevegetable soybeans. To further increase theacceptability of green soybeans as a vegetable,geneticists need to consider breeding a vegetablesoybean that has as many desirable sensory attributesas possible.
