Food Ingredients
Information
Soy protein concentrate is a high-quality plant protein product with a protein content of approximately 65%-90%. It retains most of the nutritional components in soybeans and has good functionality, being widely used in the food industry.
In meat processing, soy protein concentrate is a commonly used additive. Adding it to meat products such as sausages, hams, and minced meat can increase the protein content of the products and reduce production costs. Moreover, it can enhance the water-holding capacity and adhesiveness of meat products, reduce water loss during processing, and make the products more compact in texture and more elastic in taste.
In the field of aquatic products, soy protein concentrate also plays an important role. In the production of products such as fish balls and shrimp paste, adding an appropriate amount of soy protein concentrate can improve the gel properties of the products, enhance their elasticity and chewiness, while supplementing protein and improving the nutritional value of the products.
For vegetarian foods, soy protein concentrate is a key raw material for making vegetarian meat, vegetarian sausages, vegetarian hamburgers and other products. It has a certain fibrous structure and chewiness, and can simulate the taste of meat after processing, providing a rich source of protein for vegetarians and meeting their dual needs for nutrition and taste.
