In the present paper three strains (EMBR-59, BRS-133, BRS-137) of soybean [Glycine Max (L.) Merrill] with their transgenic varieties (EMBR-59-RR, BRS-133-RR, BRS-137-RR), were analyzed. The following determinations were carried out in all samples: total proteins and lipids, ash, humidity, macro (Ca, Mg, K) and micro (Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn) elements. The results showed that the concentrations of total proteins, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, and Mn in all samples were not statistically different among themselves (Student-Newman-Keuls-SNKp>0.05). The concentrations of total lipids, humidity, ash and K were statistically different (SNKp<0.05) among some varieties, but they were not different between a variety and its transgenic variety (SNK p>0.05). The concentration of Zn showed values statistically different (SNKp<0.05) between BRS-137 and its transgenic variety BRS-137-RR.
