Soy has been part of human food for thousands of years and has become a food of great consumption due to its high content of proteins, lipids, vitamins and minerals. Today it is already known that its role is much more important, playing a preventive and therapeutic role in cardiovascular diseases, cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes and relief in the symptoms of menopause. However, in recent years, with the development of biotechnology and the growing production of transgenic soy resistant to herbicide, it remains to be seen whether the nutritional composition of soy is the same and its therapeutic values ​​are preserved. In this work, the use of Raman Spectroscopy, widely used in the food industry, was chosen to analyze the levels of lipid and protein between conventional and transgenic soybeans as it is a fast and non-destructive method. Using the chemometric method it was possible to identify the differences between the two types of soybeans.
