Soy Fiber: The Invisible 'Hero' in Canned Foods

图片
 Soybean fiber is mainly derived from by - products generated during the soybean processing, such as soybean dregs and soybean skins. These materials, which were originally likely to be regarded as waste, have transformed into soybean fiber with a variety of excellent properties after a series of complex and sophisticated extraction processes. Currently, there are diverse extraction methods for soybean fiber, mainly including physical methods, chemical methods, and biological methods. In the large family of canned foods, whether it is delicious meat cans or fresh fruit and vegetable cans, soybean fiber plays an indispensable and important role in improving the quality and enhancing the nutrition of canned foods. Magical effects of soybean fiber in canned foods Improving Texture and Taste Soybean fiber has unique gel properties and extremely excellent oil - holding and water - retaining capabilities, and this characteristic is demonstrated most vividly in canned meat products. When ...

The Secret of Plant-Based Meat: How to "Trick" Your Tongue

图片
As more people around the world choose a meat-free diet, food science is advancing to meet the demand for plant-based foods while ensuring that health and ethics are not compromised. In recent years, food companies have been working on developing meat substitutes. Many believe that reducing meat consumption can help promote environmental sustainability and improve personal health. Currently, two major areas of research are plant-based meat and lab-grown meat. Each faces unique challenges: lab-grown meat requires culturing meat products from animal cells, while plant-based meat uses plant materials to replicate the structure and flavor of animal meat. Some well-known food companies, including Impossible Foods, Beyond Meat, Mosa Meat, and Quorn, have successfully launched popular plant-based meat products. From a scientific perspective, the development of plant-based meat is particularly remarkable as food manufacturers and researchers strive to create products with similar texture, flav...

Soy fiber: the hidden "master" of the food world

Today we will dig deep into the star ingredient of the food industry - soy fiber, many people may be a little unfamiliar with it, but in fact, it has been quietly "lurking" in all aspects of our lives. Soy fiber, which is extracted from soybeans, is a high-quality dietary fiber. It is not an ordinary fiber, and has many unique characteristics. First of all, soy fiber has super water-holding capacity and swelling. In our intestines, it is like a super absorbent sponge, which can absorb a lot of water, make the feces soft, easily excreted from the body, and effectively prevent constipation, which can be called the intestinal "scavenger". Secondly, its chemical structure is stable, resistant to acid and alkali, resistant to digestive enzymes, can smoothly pass through our upper digestive tract, directly to the intestines to play a role, and almost no calorie production, very friendly to friends who control weight and blood sugar. Soy fiber is mainly used in canned food...

Soy Protein and Animal Protein

图片
In today's society, people are increasingly concerned about healthy diets, and protein, as an essential nutrient for the human body, has received extensive attention regarding its sources and intake methods. When it comes to protein, many people first think of animal-based foods such as meat, fish, and eggs. However, soy protein from plant-based foods also has significant nutritional value and, in some aspects, even surpasses animal protein, making them comparable. The Nutritional Value of Soy Protein 01 Complete Amino Acid Composition Soy protein is a high-quality plant protein with an amino acid composition that closely matches human needs. It contains all nine essential amino acids that the human body cannot synthesize on its own, such as lysine, tryptophan, and leucine. The amino acid ratio in soy protein is relatively balanced, effectively meeting the body's requirements for various amino acids and facilitating physiological processes such as muscle synthesis and cell repa...

Eating more soybeans can balance dietary fiber

图片
Dietary fiber is an important nutrient for maintaining human health, and legumes are an important source of dietary fiber. As a common legume food, soybeans are rich in dietary fiber, which is of great significance for balancing dietary structure and promoting intestinal health. The dietary fiber in soybeans is divided into two types: soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber can help lower cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar, and prevent cardiovascular disease; insoluble fiber can help promote intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation. The intake of soy dietary fiber is closely related to physical health. Research shows that the daily intake of dietary fiber for adults should reach 25-30 grams. Soybeans are rich in dietary fiber, with about 4.5 grams of dietary fiber per 100 grams of soybeans. Therefore, eating soybeans in moderation can effectively supplement dietary fiber. Soy dietary fiber can be consumed in various ways. In addition to eating soy products directly, suc...

Nutritional standards for soy protein concentrate in animal feed

Soybean protein concentrate uses soybeans as raw materials. After crushing, peeling, extraction, separation, washing, drying and other processing techniques, the oil and low-molecular soluble non-protein components (mainly soluble sugar, ash, alcohol) in the soybeans are removed. Deeply processed soybean products obtained after dissolving protein and various odor substances, etc.). There are four main production processes for soybean protein concentrate, namely moist heat extraction method, acid washing method, ethanol extraction method and ultrafiltration membrane method. Due to the elimination of oligosaccharide flatulence factors, trypsin inhibitors, lectins, saponins and other anti-nutritional factors, the digestibility of nutrients in soy protein concentrate has been improved to a certain extent, and the flavor and quality of the product have been improved, which makes soy concentrate Protein has been popular in the food and feed industries since its commercial production in 1959....

Plant protein drinks: have a balanced nutritional intake

图片
Plant protein drinks refer to milky liquid products made by using plant fruits, seeds, stone fruits or nuts with high protein content as raw materials, grinding them with water in a certain proportion, removing the residue, and then adding ingredients. The protein content of the finished product shall not be less than 0.5%. After entering the 21st century, with the improvement of people's consumption level, the requirements for beverages tend to be nutritious, health-care, safe, hygienic, and return to green and natural. Plant protein drinks are in the best period of development and have a lot of room for development. Benefits of plant protein drinks The benefits of plant protein drinks go far beyond providing necessary nutritional supplements for vegetarians. In today's fast-paced life, they are gradually becoming an important part of a healthy diet, leading a nutritional revolution.
