Increasing plant protein intake can improve muscle health in Chinese elderly population

 Although overall protein intake recommendations are insufficient to counteract muscle loss, protein intake from plant-based sources may help improve muscle health in China's elderly population, researchers say.

Since most of the existing data on the relationship between dietary protein intake and muscle mass come from Western countries, researchers in China conducted a cross-sectional study to investigate how different amounts and sources of protein intake affect aging Chinese Human muscle mass. The article titled "Association of Dietary Protein Intake with Muscle Mass in Elderly Chinese: A Cross-Sectional Study" was published in Nutrients recently.

The study analyzed data based on the 2018 China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS), which included 4,826 participants aged 60 and over from 15 provinces.

Protein intake data were assessed using three days (two weekdays and one weekend) of 24-h dietary recall obtained through face-to-face interviews with participants.

Their limb skeletal muscle mass (the sum of muscle mass in all limbs) was assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis, a method of measuring body composition based on the rate at which electrical current passes through the body.

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
