Why is soy protein the star among plant proteins?


What are the differences between animal and plant protein nutrition?

The reason why proteins contain different amino acids has a lot to do with the source of the protein. Protein mainly comes from animal foods and plant foods. The amino acids contained in animal proteins and plant proteins are different, which means that their nutritional values ​​are also different.

Animal protein mainly comes from meat, eggs and milk of poultry, livestock and fish. Its protein composition is mainly casein (78~85%), which can be better absorbed and utilized by adults. More importantly, animal protein has a complete range of essential amino acids in a reasonable proportion, so it is easier to digest, absorb and utilize than ordinary plant protein, and its nutritional value is relatively high. Generally speaking, the amino acid scores of meat (such as fish, beef) proteins and proteins in milk are between 0.9 and 1.0.

Plant-based protein mainly comes from rice, noodles and beans, but the protein nutritional values of rice, noodles and beans are different. Proteins derived from rice and noodles lack lysine (an essential amino acid), so their amino acid score is low, only 0.3 to 0.5. This type of protein will also be poorly absorbed and utilized by the body. Of course, this deficiency can be improved through scientific methods. For example, adding lysine-rich legumes appropriately to rice noodles can significantly improve the amino acid score of protein.

In recent years, the consumer industry has become a fertile ground for patent innovation. In this wave of innovation, plant protein has become a key innovation area for environmental sustainability. Companies are vying to become leaders in the field of plant protein and explore healthy and environmentally sustainable products. key issues such as development, food security and transparency. At the same time, with the rise of technologies such as 3D food printing, alternative proteins and digital food management, patented innovation has become an important driving force in this competition. According to a report released by GlobalData, more than 662,000 patents have emerged in the consumer industry in the past three years. This number highlights the industry's urgent need for future food innovation, and also highlights the continuous expansion of professional fields, injecting new ideas into the future food industry vitality. As a substitute for traditional meat protein, plant protei

Why you should eat more soy protein instead of soy

图片
Beans play an important role in the diet. Soy products include tofu and soy milk. Soy protein has always been recommended as a healthy food by nutritionists. It contains kinds of essential amino acids, as well as unsaturated fatty acids, lecithin, etc. which are lacking in animal foods. Soy products are rich in nutrients, high in protein, and contain more iron, which are easily absorbed and utilized by the human body. Many nutrition experts believe that we can consume more soy protein, such as protein powder or nutritional products containing soy protein isolate . It can help us balance nutrition and be healthier. However, nutrition experts recommend that we use soybeans and soy products in moderation. Why? Soybeans contain some unhealthy substances such as trypsinin, coagulin, etc. We call these substances anti-nutrients. Click to enter the details pag
