Soya protein isolate

Soya protein isolate is a food ingredient derived from soybeans, which are plant-based legumes. It is a concentrated form of protein extracted from soybeans through a process that removes most of the fats and carbohydrates, leaving mainly protein behind.

During production, soybeans are crushed, and the protein is separated from the other components of the bean. This process results in a fine powder that is rich in protein, making it a popular choice for adding protein to various food products.

Food manufacturers use soya protein isolate in a variety of products to enhance their protein content. It is commonly found in foods like protein bars, meat substitutes, plant-based milks, and protein powders. Soya protein isolate can improve the texture, provide structure, and increase the nutritional value of these foods.
