Soy Protein – Nutritional Benefits
Almost 40% of the calories in soybeans are derived from protein causing soybeans to be higher in protein than other legumes and many animal products. The quality of soy protein is highly notable and approaches the quality of meat and milk. Unlike many other good sources of protein, soybeans are low in saturated fat and are cholesterol-free.
Soy Protein Products
Defatted soy flakes, a product resulting from the oil extraction process of soybeans, are the basis of a variety of soy products including soy flour, soy concentrates, and soy isolates.
- Defatted soy flours are about 86% protein and have very little moisture. They contain no fiber, carbohydrates or fat. Soy flours are very different from wheat flour and can not be substituted directly fro all the wheat flour in a recipe. Replacing about 15% of the wheat flour with soy flour gives a nutty flavor, darker crust, and moister crumb.
- Soy concentrates contain about 65% protein and retain most of the soybean's dietary fiber. Concentrates also add texture and help foods retain moisture.
- Soy isolates contain about 90% protein and are the most versatile of all the soy protein products. Isolates are used to add juiciness, cohesiveness, and viscosity to a variety of meat, seafood, and poultry products. Soy isolates are the chief component of many dairy-like products, including cheese, soymilk, infant formula, non-dairy frozen desserts and coffee whiteners. They are used to add texture to meat products and are valued for their emulsifying properties. Soy isolates absorb five times their weight in water. Isolates can be used to enhance both the nutritional quality and taste of meat products. This is especially true for soy used to enhance the flavor and nutritional quality of tough meat. Soy isolate is excellent for improvement of sensory attributes of whole meat products. Roasts and hams that contain soy isolates are juicer and more nutritional. Soy isolates can also be used as an ingredient to supplement or replace milk powder. In addition, isolates are commonly used in dairy products such as beverages, frozen desserts and imitation cheeses.
Soy Fiber
Soybeans, especially the outer hull, are an excellent source of dietary fiber (6 grams fiber per 1 cup cooked soybeans).
During processing, the soybean hull is typically removed. This extracted hull can be further process to create a fiber additive for breads, cereals and snacks.
Soybeans contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber may help lower serum cholesterol and control blood sugar. Insoluble fiber increases stool bulk, may prevent colon cancer, and can help relieve symptoms of several digestive disorders.
