What it is
Defatted soybean flour is a finely ground powder made from soybeans after most of their oil has been removed. This process results in a product with a higher protein concentration and lower fat content compared to whole soybean flour.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use defatted soybean flour as a protein enhancer, emulsifier, and texturizer in various food products. It is often found in baked goods, meat alternatives, and processed foods to improve nutritional value and structure.
Health notes
Defatted soybean flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in food. Soy products are a good source of plant-based protein and fiber. While some past discussions focused on phytoestrogens in soy, current scientific reviews, including those from EFSA, generally conclude that soy consumption at typical levels is safe and can be part of a healthy diet.
Allergen info
Soy is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
