The essence of soy protein: soy protein isolate

There are many types of proteins in human food. The main difference between different types of proteins lies in their structure. The fundamental difference between different types of proteins lies in the content, types and proportions of various amino acids they contain. The proteins in various animals and plants in the world vary greatly because the amino acids required by various organisms are different. As human food, what kind of protein is best? The answer is simple. The composition and requirements of various amino acids required by the human body are indicators of the quality of protein. The human body needs 20 kinds of amino acids, but not all 20 kinds are in the same amount. In fact, there are thousands of cells in the human body, and the amino acids needed by various cells are different. Therefore, the various amino acids needed by various types of cells in the human body can be used. An overall calculation, a general ledger. From the general ledger, we know the total amount

Adopting a plant-based diet may help reduce biological age

New research from Stanford University suggests that adopting a plant-based diet may help slow the progression of biological age. The study, published in the journal BMC Medicine, reveals the link between dietary habits and DNA methylation by comparing the effects of a plant-based diet with an omnivore diet, and suggests that a plant-based diet may have a positive regulatory effect on biological age. . The so-called biological age is different from what we usually call age. It reflects the true state of human body organ functions, inflammatory markers, metabolic functions and other biomarkers. DNA methylation is a key process in regulating genes related to aging and disease. It adds small molecule methyl groups to DNA to turn specific genes on or off, affecting cell function. A team of researchers from Stanford University tracked 21 pairs of adult identical twins to assess biological age by analyzing DNA methylation levels in their blood samples. The results showed that twins who adhere

A recent survey by ProVeg International revealed new trends in Spanish consumers ’ acceptance of plant-based diets. The survey aims to provide insight into the current landscape of plant-based product consumption and provide insights to the food industry and relevant stakeholders. Spain, as the fourth largest plant-based food market in Europe, with sales of nearly 500 million euros from 2020 to 2022, occupies an important position in the plant-based food industry. The results of this survey show that nearly 48% of Spanish meat consumers said they reduced their meat intake last year, of which 16% reduced their meat intake by 50% or more, and 32% reduced their meat intake by less than 50%. . In particular, the consumption of beef and pork has declined most significantly. Most respondents said the main motivation for reducing their consumption of meat and animal-derived dairy products was health concerns (47%), followed by animal welfare (30%) and environmental protection (23%). It is wor

Protein is so important, have you chosen the right one?

How much protein do we need daily? The Chinese Nutrition Society recommends protein intake: 70-90g/day for adults; an additional 20g per day for pregnant women, and an additional 25-30g per day for lactating mothers. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends: 140g for men and 106g for women. What foods do we generally consume protein from? Protein is widely found in various foods, but the foods richest in high-quality protein are: fish, meat, eggs, milk, and beans. Modern people's eating habits allow us to obtain protein from more meat, but we also consume excessive amounts of cholesterol, saturated fat, and hormone and antibiotic residues. These are the side effects of modern breeding. Today, protein intake is still a problem in rural areas and small and medium-sized cities, while in big cities we must start to pay attention to the choice of protein “ quality ” ; Many chronic diseases are caused by food. For a long time, scientists have been working tirelessly to find foods o
