What it is

Partially defatted soy flour is made from soybeans that have had most of their oil removed. The remaining soybean material is then ground into a fine powder. This process concentrates the protein and fiber content of the soybean.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use partially defatted soy flour as a source of protein and fiber, and to improve texture and moisture retention in baked goods. It can also act as a binder and emulsifier. It is commonly found in breads, cakes, cookies, and other baked items.

Health notes

Partially defatted soy flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of plant-based protein and fiber, which are components of a healthy diet. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated soy products, but specific evaluations for partially defatted soy flour may vary. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary consumption.

Allergen info

Soy is one of the nine FDA major allergens. Partially defatted soy flour is derived from soybeans and is therefore considered a major allergen.
