What is soy protein?

 


Soy protein is a kind of plant protein, and its amino acid composition is similar to milk protein. Except for slightly lower methionine, the content of other essential amino acids is relatively rich, and it is a complete plant protein. In terms of nutritional value, it can be equivalent to animal protein. In terms of genetic structure, it is also the closest to human amino acids, so it is the most nutritious plant protein. Soy protein has the incomparable advantages of animal protein. Although soy protein has very little methionine, it does not contain cholesterol. Its unique physiologically active substance-isoflavones has the effect of lowering cholesterol.

 Basic Information:

 

Soybean is one of the main crops in China, because it has the characteristics of both edible oil resources and edible protein resources, and has high nutritional value. Soybean protein is the most abundant protein in nature, and its amino acid composition and essential amino acids The composition is similar, and it is also rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron, oligosaccharides and various vitamins. It is known as the "growth of gold". Industrialized soy protein products include soy protein powder (SF), soy protein concentrate (SPC), soy protein isolate (SPI) and textured soy protein (TSP).

 

FAO/WHO (1985) human test results show that the essential amino acid composition of soy protein is more suitable for human needs. For people over two years old, the physiological potency of soy protein is 100. Soybean is rich in protein, and its protein content is almost twice that of meat, eggs, and fish. Moreover, the protein contained in soybeans contains sufficient human body "essential amino acids" and complete components, which are "high-quality protein". The human body's demand for protein varies with age, gender, weight, type of work, etc. In order to guide people's diet, countries around the world have formulated the "recommended daily dietary nutrient supply" (RDA) based on their own actual conditions. In 1999, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a statement: Daily intake of 25 grams of soy protein can reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Use of soy silk drawing protein

图片
The soy silk drawing protein is a fibrous plant protein with a texture similar to muscle fiber formed by the production and processing of soy protein through a special process. The classification of soy silk drawing protein is divided according to its structure. There are thick silk type, thin silk type, soft silk type, hard silk type, smooth silk, astringent silk, etc. According to the different silk structure and the tensile strength of the silk, how much A combination of plant silk protein can be used to produce ham sausage, minced meat, beef jerky and canned food. The taste of the food is basically the same as ordinary meat food, but the price of plant silk protein is only 1/of the lean pork. 5. The protein content is equivalent to 2-3 times that of fish, meat, and eggs.

How to use enzyme technology to modify soy protein?

 According to market needs, through the selection of different proteases, the adjustment of process conditions and the degree of hydrolysis, a variety of products with different functional characteristics can be developed and produced. (1)Injectable protein isolate :  The product is used in the salted solution for injection of whole meat products, which can reduce the cooking loss of meat products and improve the quality of individual rows and cut surfaces of meat products. Since the product is usually added in a relatively small amount, below 3%, it is not necessary to strictly control the bitterness. Such products are required to have a lower viscosity, and at the same time, the increase in foaming properties and the decrease in gel properties must be controlled within a certain range. The viscosity is mainly determined by the molecular mass of the protein. The greater the molecular mass, the greater the viscosity. 80% of soybean protein has a molecular mass of more than 100,000 and
