Soy protein
isolate is the
soy protein with
the highest
content of
protein. It is
made from
defatted soy
meal by removing
most of the fats
and
carbohydrates,
yielding a
product with 90
percent protein.
Therefore, soy
protein isolate
has a very
neutral flavour
compared to
other soy
products.
Because most of
the
carbohydrates
are removed, the
intake of soy
protein isolate
does not cause
flatulence. Pure
soy protein
isolate is
difficult to
find in stores
and is mainly
used by the food
industry and
less by
consumers. Maybe
you can find it
in health stores
or in the
pharmacy section
of the
supermarket. It
is mainly found
combined with
other food
ingredients; for
example, soy
protein shake
powder is a
mixture of soy
protein isolate
with flavours,
minerals and
vitamins.
Industrial use
of soy protein
isolate
Soy protein
isolate is used
in the food
industry for
nutritional
(increasing
protein
content),
sensorial
(better
mouthfeel, bland
flavour) and
functional
reasons (for
applications
requiring
emulsification,
water and fat
absorption and
adhesive
properties).
Soy protein
isolate is used
in following
food products:
Snacks
Meal
replacements
Breakfast
cereals
Energy and
protein bars
Weight loss
ready-to-drink
beverages
Soups, sauces
and prepared
foods
Baked foods
Ice cream,
yogurt and
other dairy or
dairy-free
products
Meat
alternatives
Processed
meat, poultry
and fish
products
Use of soy
protein isolate
by consumers
You can use soy
protein isolate
in different
ways. It can be
added to your
favourite juice,
it can be added
to milk shakes
or smoothies, or
it can be
sprinkled on
cereal to boost
the protein
content.
Homemade soy
yogurt, which is
often too
watery, can be
made thicker by
adding some soy
protein isolate.
The thickness of
yogurt is the
result of the
coagulation of
proteins in an
acid
environment.
Nutritional and
health benefits
of soy protein
isolate
Soy protein
isolate is a
complete
vegetable
protein. It
contains all
essential amino
acids for growth
and it is equal
in quality to
the protein in
meat, milk and
eggs. On the
other hand, it
has a very low
fat content. Soy
protein isolate
may reduce the
risk of coronary
heart disease.
There are also
indications that
soy protein can
help in the
prevention of
osteoporosis,
some cancers and
menopausal
symptoms.
However, soy
protein isolate
may have less
health benefits
than whole
soybeans or soy
protein
concentrates.
During the
production of
soy protein
isolate the
protein is
washed with
alcohol,
removing most of
the isoflavones.
The isoflavones
have many health
benefits such as
improving
arterial
vasodilatation,
lowering
cholesterol and
inhibiting
atherosclerosis.
What is soy
protein?
Soy protein has
been used since
1959 as
ingredients for
its functional
properties in a
variety of foods
such as salad
dressings,
soups,
vegetarian foods
and meat
imitations. Its
functional
properties are
emulsification
and texturizing.
Recently the
popularity of
soy protein is
increasing,
mainly because
of its health
benefits. It has
been proven that
soy protein can
help to prevent
heart problems
and many
countries allow
health claims
for food, which
are rich in soy
protein.
Categories
of soy proteins
Soy proteins can
be divided into
different
categories
according to
their production
method:
Soy protein
isolate is the
most refined
form of soy
protein and is
mainly used in
meat products to
improve texture
and eating
quality. Soy
protein isolate
contains about
90 % percent
protein.
Soy protein
concentrate is
basically
soybean without
the water
soluble
carbohydrates.
It contains
about 70 percent
of protein.
Textured soy
protein, often
called TSP, is
made from soy
protein
concentrate by
giving it some
texture. TSP is
available as dry
flakes or
chunks. It will
keep its
structure when
hydrated.
Hydrated
textured soy
protein chunks
have a texture
similar to
ground beef. It
can be used as a
meat replacement
or can be added
to meat.
Textured soy
protein contains
about 70 percent
protein.
Production
processes
There are three
methods to
produce soy
protein
concentrate.
Aqueous
alcohol wash
process
Acid wash
process
Water wash
process with
heat
denaturation
These methods
will yield soy
protein
concentrate with
similar
composition: 70
percent protein,
20 percent
carbohydrates, 6
percent ash and
about 1 percent
oil. The
solubility of
the protein can
differ between
the different
extraction
processes. One
ton of defatted
soybean flakes
will give about
750 kg (75
percent yield)
of soybean
protein
concentrate.
