What it is

Soy isolate is a highly purified protein extracted from soybeans. It is made by removing most of the fat and carbohydrates from dehulled soybeans, resulting in a powder that is at least 90% protein.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use soy isolate as a protein source and texturizer in foods. It is commonly found in protein bars, vegetarian meat alternatives, and some dairy-free products.

Health notes

Soy protein isolate is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of complete protein, containing all essential amino acids. The WHO/FAO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated soy protein isolate. Some studies suggest potential benefits for heart health, while others explore its role in hormonal effects, though evidence is mixed and often depends on intake levels.

Allergen info

Soy is one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. Soy isolate is derived from soybeans, so it is considered a soy allergen.
