New research: Eat more beans, vegetables, and fish to reduce the chance of contracting COVID-19

 Recently, a 6-country study published in the online magazine "BMJ Nutrition Prevention & Health" showed that a plant-based and/or fish (finfish) diet such as beans, vegetables, etc., may help reduce the incidence of The chance of severe COVID-19 infection.


This study collected health care workers (HCWs) from 6 countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States) who completed a web-based survey between July 17 and September 25, 2020. According to A 47-item food frequency questionnaire to obtain detailed information about the respondents’ eating patterns in the past year and the severity of their COVID-19 infection. After considering several potential influencing variables such as age, race, medical profession and lifestyle (smoking, physical activity), claiming to eat a plant-based diet (higher content of beans, vegetables and nuts, poultry, red meat, and processed meat) Respondents with a lower content) or a plant-based/fish-based diet (as described above, but with fish/seafood added), compared with those who do not have these dietary patterns, the chances of moderate and severe COVID-19 infections were lower, respectively 73% and 59%. In response to the results of this study, Shane McAuliffe, vice chairman of the NNEdPro Nutrition and COVID-19 Task Force, commented: “A high-quality diet is important to enhance an adequate immune response! This study emphasizes the need for diet, nutritional status and The correlation between the results of the new coronary pneumonia is better prospectively studied."

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.

 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
