What it is
Soy protein isolate and wheat gluten are concentrated protein sources derived from soybeans and wheat, respectively. They are produced through processes that separate the protein components from other parts of the plant, often involving extraction and drying.
Why it's used
These proteins are added to foods primarily as texturizers and binders, helping to improve mouthfeel and structure. They are commonly found in processed meats, vegetarian meat alternatives, baked goods, and sauces where they contribute to a desirable texture and can help retain moisture.
Health notes
Soy protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Wheat gluten is a component of wheat and is therefore subject to allergen labeling. Both soy and wheat proteins have been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming these proteins at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Soy is one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. Wheat is also a major allergen, and gluten is the specific protein component of wheat that causes issues for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
