From energetic fitness meals, to nutritional supplements in the hands of elders, to snacks that children love to eat Soy protein isolate, which sounds a bit professional, is actually quietly integrating into every aspect of our lives. What exactly is its charm? What changes can it bring to the food industry? Today, we will take you into the world of this’ plant protein star ‘.
1、 What is soy protein isolate? ——Plant essence extracted by science and technology
Soy protein isolate is a nearly pure plant protein product obtained by using high-quality non genetically modified soybeans as raw materials and modern deep processing technology to remove non protein components such as oil and carbohydrates from soybeans. It has significant characteristics of high purity, high nutrition, and multifunctionality:
High quality protein source: Rich in 8 essential amino acids for the human body, with a high digestion and absorption rate (PDCAAS value close to 1), it is recognized as a high-quality plant protein, especially suitable for vegetarians and lactose intolerant individuals to supplement protein. Low fat, low sugar, and low calorie: almost free of fat and carbohydrates, it is an ideal choice for those who pursue health and weight control.
Excellent functional properties: excellent solubility, emulsification, water absorption, oil absorption, gel property, foaming property, etc., which can significantly improve the texture, taste and stability of food.
2、 Application Everywhere: The “72 Variations” of Soy Protein Isolate
With its excellent nutritional and functional properties, soy protein isolate has become an indispensable core material in the modern food industry, with a wide range of applications
1. Meat processing:
① Improve quality: when added to sausage, ham, Rice-meat dumplings and lunch meat, it can improve the water retention, elasticity and tenderness of the product, reduce cooking loss, improve slicing, and make the meat more compact and juicy.
② Reduce costs: partially replace animal protein and optimize cost structure.
③ Health Upgrade: Increase plant protein content, reduce saturated fat intake, and align with the trend of healthy meat products.
2. Nutritional and health foods:
Protein powder/stick/drink: It is the core raw material for sports nutrition, meal replacement food, and middle-aged and elderly nutritional supplements, providing pure and efficient plant protein.
3. Formula foods for special medical purposes:
Provide high-quality protein sources that are easy to digest and absorb for populations requiring special nutritional support, such as postoperative recovery, kidney disease, tumor patients, etc.
4. Leisure food:
① Puffed food/energy bars: increase protein content, enhance product nutritional value labels, and meet consumers’ demand for “high protein snacks”.
② Plant based snacks: serving as the base protein for plant-based meat snacks such as vegetarian jerky and plant-based potato chip coatings.
5. Baked goods:
① Enhance dough strength, improve bread volume and structure, and delay aging.
② Used in cakes and pastries to enhance emulsification and water retention, making the taste more moist and soft.
6. Dairy substitutes:
① Plant milk/plant yogurt: It is a key ingredient that gives products a rich taste and increases protein content.
② Plant based cheese/ice cream: provides the necessary texture and flavor foundation.
7. Frozen foods:
Reduce ice crystal formation, improve freeze-thaw stability, and maintain product texture.
