What it is

Soy-derived ingredients come from soybeans, a legume native to East Asia. They are processed to create various food components like soy flour, soy protein isolate, soy lecithin, and soy oil. These ingredients are versatile and used in a wide range of food products.

Why it's used

Soy-derived ingredients are used for their nutritional value and functional properties. They can act as emulsifiers (like soy lecithin), binders, thickeners, and sources of protein. They are commonly found in baked goods, processed meats, dairy alternatives, and snacks.

Health notes

Some studies suggest potential benefits for heart health, but research is ongoing and sometimes mixed. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated soy-derived substances. Soy is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA.
