Advantages of soy protein drinks

图片
Soy protein isolate solid beverage is a beverage with soy protein as the main ingredient. Its characteristics are as follows: 1. High protein: Soy protein isolate solid drink contains high protein, which helps to enhance the body's immunity and maintain muscle health. 2. Low fat: Compared with milk and other protein drinks, soy protein isolate solid drinks have lower fat content, which helps control weight and blood lipids. 3. Easy to digest: The protein in soy protein isolate solid drink is easy to digest and absorb, especially suitable for the elderly and people with fragile digestive systems. 4. Good palatability: The soy protein isolate solid drink has a delicate and smooth taste and a light taste, suitable for people with different tastes. ‌The advantages of soy protein drinks mainly include the following aspects‌: 1. ‌High protein content‌: Soy protein is a high-protein plant protein with a protein content of more than 90%. It is an ideal substitute for animal proteins such a...

Consuming soy protein may promote heart health by enhancing gut microbiota activity

图片
A new study finds that a specific soy protein may reduce symptoms of heart failure by modulating gut bacteria that produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). Recent research published in the journal "Clinical Nutrition" shows that β -conglycinin, which is common in soybeans, can increase the number of intestinal microorganisms that produce SCFA. Studies have also found that daily consumption of it can increase the concentration of SCFA in the intestinal environment. This finding highlights the potential of this protein component to assist in the treatment of heart failure, particularly in addition to pharmacotherapeutic and medical effects. Although heart failure has received multiple batches of treatments, it remains a significant health problem worldwide. The Heart Failure Society of America estimates that there are 960,000 new cases of heart failure each year, and that number is likely to continue to rise as the obesity problem continues to grow. Previous research has shown t...

Latest Harvard study: Plant protein intake can help reduce the risk of heart disease

图片
In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that a healthy diet is crucial to maintaining heart health. A new study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health further confirms that plant protein intake is closely related to heart health. The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, shows that replacing red and processed meat with plant-based proteins can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Analyzing nearly 30 years of data covering about 203,000 adults, Harvard researchers found that people who consumed more plant protein, especially from nuts and legumes, were linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease. Risks fell by 19% and 27% respectively. The results highlight the potential benefits of replacing animal protein, especially red and processed meat, with plant-based protein in reducing heart disease risk. Study leader Dr. Andrea Glenn, now a professor at New York University's Steinhardt ...

U.S. Dietary Guidelines prioritize plant-based protein over meat for first time

图片
The U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Department of Agriculture (USDA) are currently reviewing a proposed update to the 2025 Dietary Guidelines that would shift the focus to plant-based proteins, a significant shift from traditional recommendations. The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee held its seventh and final meeting on October 21, 2024, where it presented a preliminary plan to prioritize plant protein sources over animal protein sources. The meeting, hosted by the National Institutes of Health, is part of a larger effort to revise the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which are updated every five years. Key among the proposed reforms is the restructuring of the "protein foods" category, which has traditionally prioritized meat, eggs, poultry and seafood. Under the new guidance, plant-based foods such as nuts, seeds and soy products will be moved to the top of the list. Emphasis on plant proteins. The proposed changes reflect evidence gathered fr...

The role of soy protein isolate in food

图片
 Soy protein isolate is a plant protein extracted from soybeans. It is high in purity, rich in nutrition and cholesterol-free. It is one of the few types of plant protein that can replace animal protein. Soy protein isolate contains various nutrients needed by the human body and can be used as a food additive to make various foods, such as baby food, sports drinks, fast food products, etc. Why can soy protein isolate be widely used in various food industries? 1.Emulsified fat: Soy protein isolate contains hydrophilic and lipophilic groups, which can effectively absorb water and oil, and reduce the water and oil release of meat products during processing and storage. 2.Improve nutritional value: Soy protein isolate is rich in complete protein and can complement the amino acid composition of meat protein, thereby improving the nutritional value of meat products. 3.Enhance water holding capacity: Soy protein isolate has good water holding capacity, which can make meat products retain ...

Plant-based diets help children thrive

图片
With the global awareness of health and environmental protection increasing, more and more families are choosing a plant-based diet as a lifestyle. In today's society, plant-based eating is not only an ethical choice but is also revered for the health benefits it brings. This dietary pattern includes primarily vegetables, fruits, legumes, grains, nuts, and seeds while excluding all meat, poultry, seafood, and other animal-derived products such as milk, cheese, and eggs. Research shows that a diet free of animal products can improve blood sugar control, promote digestive health, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes. However, there are still certain controversies and questions in society surrounding whether this dietary approach is suitable for children's health and safety. A 2021 research paper published in the journal Nutrition Research provides a resounding answer. The study states that a well-planned vegan diet, combined with appropriate supplem...

Using soy protein isolate to make tofu

Soy protein isolate is a plant-based protein extracted from soybeans that has high purity, high nutritional value, and no cholesterol. ‌ It is a protein powder obtained from low-temperature desolubilized soybean meal as raw material and processed through a series of processes. Its protein content is more than 90%, it is rich in amino acid types, and contains essential amino acids for the human body. Soy protein isolate is not only nutritionally comparable to animal protein, but because it does not contain cholesterol, it is one of the few plant proteins that can replace animal protein. ‌ Soy protein isolate has a wide range of applications and can be used as a food additive to make baby food, sports drinks, instant products, etc. It also has various health benefits such as boosting immunity, promoting wound healing, lowering cholesterol, preventing osteoporosis, etc. In addition, soy protein isolate also has a unique role in food processing. For example, injectable soy protein isolate ...
