Soya Protein Concentrate

Soya protein concentrate is a food ingredient made from soybeans. It is produced by removing most of the soluble carbohydrates and fats from defatted soy flour, resulting in a product that is at least 65% protein.

Manufacturers use soya protein concentrate as a source of protein and to improve texture and water-binding properties in foods. It is often found in processed meat products, baked goods, and dairy alternatives.

Soya protein concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of plant-based protein, which is part of a healthy diet. JECFA has evaluated soya protein concentrate and established an acceptable daily intake. No significant health controversies are associated with its consumption at typical levels.
