Soybeans are legumes high in protein (about 40%) and can be easily processed to obtain soy protein. As a natural, high-quality source of plant-based protein, soy protein is an excellent choice for vegetarians, vegans, and anyone looking to reduce dairy in their diet. Soy protein has good nutritional value and a variety of functional properties. Adding it to other foods can improve some functional properties of food.
In order to give full play to the functional properties of protein in soybeans, products such as soy protein isolate, soy protein concentrate and textured soy protein have been produced. Among them, soy protein isolate is obtained by removing all components except protein from soybean. Therefore, it is more refined and processed than its counterparts. It has a higher biological value, and is easily absorbed by the body. Alfa Chemistry offers three soy protein products, including soy protein isolate, soy protein concentrate and textured soy protein, that can be added to foods as functional ingredients for amino acid complementarity.
Nutrition Information
Almost 20 amino acids are present in soy protein, including lysine, which is one of the most abundant amino acids. Furthermore, all nine essential amino acids required by the human body are present in soy protein isolate and there is virtually no cholesterol or carbohydrates to be found. The nutritional information contained in a 100 g serving of soy protein isolate from the U.S. Department of Agriculture is shown below.

Applications
As the nutritional facts mentioned above, soy protein isolate has no carbohydrates and is low in fat, making it suitable for people who wish to lose weight. Also, the many mineral elements, such as calcium, zinc, iron, magnesium and phosphorus, contained in isolate protein can help to provide energy and improve athletic performance. Because of its high nutritional value and easy absorption, soy protein isolate is usually an ideal choice for athletes. Its specific applications in the food industry are as follows.
Soy protein isolate is usually used in flour products to increase the protein content as well as improve the protein quality. For example, adding soy protein isolate to baked goods can increase the nutrition of bread, prolong the shelf life, improve the water absorption of bread, and enhance its taste. In addition, soy protein isolate can also be used in biscuits, noodles and other flour products.
As a result of the functional properties of soy protein isolate, various fake meats can be manufactured. Although there is no meat in these products or other meat is used instead, these products have the flavor of natural meat products. They also have the characteristics of high protein, low fat, no cholesterol, and high nutritional value.
- Dairy and beverage products
Soy protein isolate can also be used in dairy products, such as formula milk and liquid milk, to increase the protein content and make the product both nutritious and flavorful. Soy protein can also replace skim milk in the production of ice cream to improve its emulsifying properties.
