The eight Gell-Mann matrices generate , and the three superfields form one fundamental triplet. A renormalizable superpotential may have degree at most three. There is no invariant vector or symmetric rank-two tensor in the fundamental. The only apparent cubic singlet isbut chiral superfields are Grassmann-even and commute, so this contraction of a symmetric product with vanishes identically. Consequently the most general invariant superpotential as the question is written is only a constant,which has no effect in global supersymmetry. In particular, is not invariant under a general rotation.
