Soy protein can be used as a dietary supplement for pets

 What is soy protein?

Soy protein is protein sourced from soybeans and is sometimes used as a dietary supplement in pets. Soy contains many types of proteins, but isoflavones are a specific category of proteins found in soy that are used for their estrogenic effects. Other effects of isoflavones may include antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activity. In animals, soy protein has been used in weight management, metabolic disease management, cancer management (especially lymphoma), and hormone-related conditions such as prostatic hypertrophy and urinary incontinence.

Dietary supplements are substances that can be used to supplement the diet, such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbs, botanicals, enzymes, and probiotics. While many supplements are sold over the counter, they still contain ingredients that have biological effects that should be managed by your veterinarian. Follow your veterinarian’s directions and cautions very carefully as their directions may be significantly different from those on the label.

There are differences in how countries regulate supplements. In the United States, these substances are not as vigorously regulated by the FDA as other medications, which means they can be sold without the manufacturer proving their effectiveness, safety, and without a guarantee of consistent or accurately reported ingredients. In Canada, products that have been evaluated for quality, safety, and effectiveness by Health Canada and authorized for sale will have a license number on the label.




How effective is soy protein?

Limited studies in animals have been performed, but there is anecdotal evidence that soy protein works to treat hormone-related diseases, metabolic diseases, cancers, and inflammatory/immune-mediated diseases by exerting effects on the immune system and hormone receptors. Studies in humans have also shown similar anecdotal evidence, and also include evidence for beneficial cardiovascular effects.

It should be noted that while soy protein has many potential beneficial effects, there is concern that high doses for long periods of time may also cause detrimental effects (such as an increase of certain cancer types). Consult with your veterinarian regarding the potential benefits versus the potential risks for your pet.

How is soy protein given?

Soy protein is given by mouth as an ingredient in pet food, or as a supplement in the form of a powder, tablet, or capsule. It may be given with or without food; however, if stomach upset occurs when given on an empty stomach, give future doses with food.

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
