How Protein Content Shapes Textured Soy Protein Texture

In today's booming plant-based meat and vegetarian snack market, textured soy protein is becoming a star ingredient in food processing. Made from high-quality soybeans through extrusion puffing, it has a fibrous structure similar to lean meat, commonly known as "plant-based meat." But what you might not know is that even among textured proteins, the taste can vary drastically—and the key lies in the "protein content."

Research shows that protein content significantly impacts the quality of textured protein. In a study on textured soy protein, changes in the protein ratio within the material system resulted in consistent changes in the product's texture, taste, and overall quality. Generally, higher protein content leads to a more pronounced fibrous structure, a stronger chewiness, and a more meaty and meat-like texture in the resulting "plant-based meat."

This is precisely the value of having multiple textured soy protein options with varying protein contents.

Based on differences in raw materials and production processes, textured soybean protein is mainly divided into two categories: textured soybean protein powder made from low-denatured soybean meal, with a protein content between 50% and 65%; and textured soybean protein concentrate made from soybean protein concentrate, with a content reaching approximately 70%. Our products cover a complete gradient from 50% to 68%, and even 70%.

New Plant-Based Milk Options: From Soy to Almond, How to Choose the Perfect One for You?

图片
Walk into the beverage section of a supermarket, and you'll find the plant-based milk shelves increasingly abundant, from classic soy milk to emerging oat milk and almond milk—the choices are dazzling. With more and more people focusing on health, environmental protection, or food allergies, the plant-based milk market is growing at an unprecedented rate. But which plant-based milk is the healthiest? How do you choose the right one for you from so many options? Today, we'll delve into the world of plant-based milk, focusing specifically on soy beverages with outstanding nutritional value. The popularity of plant-based milk is no accident. Besides being suitable for lactose intolerant individuals and vegetarians, a growing body of research suggests that moderate substitution of animal milk with plant-based milk may be beneficial for heart health. According to a 2020 study published in the *American Journal of Clinical Nutrition*, replacing some animal protein with plant protein ...

Application of soy protein in meat products

图片
Foreword: Soy protein isolate has been widely used in meat products. Although my country ’ s protein isolate production capacity has developed rapidly, production technology has not improved significantly, product quality has stagnated, and multi-variety, multi-functional, and serialized products have not yet been formed. The high-nutrition and high-value-added product characteristics of soy protein have not been fully reflected, and the market price has been in a downturn. Moreover, the domestic protein isolate has a single variety with little functional difference, and the product quality cannot meet customer requirements. Hundreds of foreign soybean protein isolate products can be produced, which are widely used in various industrial fields. Because of the variety and good quality of foreign products, although the price is much higher than that of domestic products, they still occupy about 1/3 of the domestic market.

59% of Canadians are increasingly choosing plant-based proteins

图片
February 8, In the busy modern life, Canadians ’ desire for a simple lifestyle is also reflected in their snack choices. Canadians are increasingly moving toward simplicity, a trend that extends to their snack preferences, according to survey results released by Wellness Natural Inc.'s SimplyProtein, a leader in plant-based snacks. The survey found that nearly half of Canadians (43 per cent) define themselves as "overthinkers," while nearly two-thirds (63 per cent) see it as their mission to simplify their lives. Amid the accelerated pace of daily life, more than half of Canadians (54 per cent) say they tend to reach for the most convenient options when in a hurry and need a snack, but still want those options to be healthier. The challenge, however, is that making healthy snack choices can be difficult when people don't understand their nutritional needs. In fact, surveys show that only 8 per cent of Canadians know their daily protein needs, a key nutrient that provi...
