Soy Protein

Soy protein is a plant-based protein derived from soybeans and is often used as a replacement for animal proteins in various food and nutrition products. Here is a description of soy protein products:High protein content: Soy protein has a high protein content with a strong profile of amino acids2. It is a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids that our bodies need.
Functional properties: Soy protein ingredients are used in compounded foods for their functional properties, including water and fat absorption, emulsification, aeration (whipping), and heat setting. They can also increase total protein content and improve the essential amino acid profile of food products.
Health benefits: Soy protein is a healthy alternative to animal protein, and its quality is similar to animal protein and higher than the quality of nearly all other plant proteins4. It is also a good source of folate, potassium, and fiber.
