Soy Protein and Soy Isoflavones

 Soy is one of the most versatile foods available, as well as one of the most researched in terms of its potential health benefits. To have a better understanding of this common food and ingredient, let's look at what we know at this time.

Nutrition Information

Soybeans are a legume, meaning their seeds grow in enclosed pods. What makes them unique from other legumes is their high protein, healthy fat and fiber content, and lower carbohydrate content. Additionally, soy is a complete plant protein containing all of the essential amino acids our bodies need.

Foods made from soy include tofu, edamame (fresh soy beans), miso (a traditional Japanese seasoning made of a thick soy-based paste used in sauces, spreads, pickling, and soups), and tempeh (a cooked and slightly fermented soybean patty). Some are made with soybean extracts: soy isolate, soy protein concentrate, soy protein flours, soy milk, soy yogurt, soy-based infant formula and gluten-free breads. Meat alternatives like soy vegetable burgers are good substitutes for meat, poultry, and other animal-based foods because of their high quality protein. 

Tip: Excellent sources of soy protein include soy milk, tofu, tempeh, miso, and edamame. Give them a try!

The fat in soybeans are primarily polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are the heart-healthy fats. Soybeans are one of the few plant foods that provide the omega-6 (linoleic) and omega-3 (alpha-linolenic) acids, both essential fatty acids.

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
