Research shows that plant protein intake can improve sleep quality, while increasing animal protein intake can worsen sleep quality

A recent study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition has attracted widespread attention, indicating that there is a positive correlation between plant protein and improved sleep quality, while animal protein intake may have a negative impact on sleep quality.

A good night's sleep is necessary for a healthy life. Changes in metabolic rate, blood circulation, hormonal secretion, and immune regulatory functions occur during sleep, all of which are necessary to maintain homeostasis in the body. Adults need seven to eight hours of sleep per day to reduce the risk of chronic disease and death. However, in recent decades, significant reductions in sleep duration have been reported in the general population, with many people reporting difficulty initiating and maintaining sleep and waking up multiple times during the night and early morning.


There has also been an increase in the prevalence of sleep disorders and diseases, which may lead to increased daytime dysfunction and the incidence of multiple chronic diseases. Poor diet quality, characterized by higher intakes of saturated fats, refined carbohydrates, and processed foods, can impair sleep quality and duration. Studies have provided mixed results regarding the effects of protein intake on sleep quality, which may be due to varying ratios of specific amino acids in different protein sources.

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
