Common names and forms

  1. Texturised Soya Protein

Description

Soy protein is a protein that is isolated from soybean. It is made from soybean meal that has been dehulled and defatted. Dehulled and defatted soybeans are processed into three kinds of high protein commercial products: soy flour, concentrates, and isolates. To create soy protein, manufacturers grind soybeans into a meal which contains no hulls or fat. For vegetarians, vegans and those who avoid or are allergic to dairy foods, soy protein often serve as a major source of this important nutrient. Soy protein isolate is the highest quality soy protein available. It’s more refined and processed than the others, Soy protein concentrate is made by removing the sugars (a part of the soybeans carbohydrate) from de-hulled soybeans. It’s still high in protein, but maintains most of its fibre, which is useful for digestive health and Textured soy protein (TSP) is made from soy protein concentrate, but is found in larger pieces or chunks. It often resembles a meat-based product.
