Introduction To Soy Protein

Table of Content [Hide]

      Soy protein: the protein contained in soy products, the content is about 38%, which is 4 to 5 times that of cereals. The amino acid composition of soy protein is similar to that of milk protein. Except for methionine, which is slightly lower, the content of other essential amino acids is relatively rich. It is a plant-based complete protein and can be equivalent to animal protein in terms of nutritional value. FAO/WHO (1985) human test results show that the essential amino acid composition of soy protein is more suitable for human needs. For people over two years old, the physiological potency of soy protein is 100. Soybean is rich in protein, and its protein content is almost twice that of meat, eggs, and fish. Moreover, the protein contained in soybeans contains sufficient human body "essential amino acids" and complete components, which are "high-quality protein". The human body's demand for protein varies with age, gender, weight, type of work, etc. In order to guide people's diet, countries around the world have formulated the "recommended daily dietary nutrient supply" (RDA) based on their own actual conditions. A daily intake of 25 grams of soy protein can reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
