According to relevant data, the global demand for protein-rich foods is increasing day by day. Among them, plant-based protein foods are becoming more and more popular. High-protein foods containing plant-based proteins (such as textured soy protein) have features of low calories, high fiber, high essential nutrients, etc. It's helpful to build muscle, improve metabolic health, body composition, and weight maintenance, etc.
The textured soy protein, also known as soy textured protein, soy protein, TSP, etc. It is a kind of product rich in soy protein with a tissue structure similar to lean meat. Textured soy protein contains essential amino acids for the human body, its nutritional value is comparable to that of animal protein, its fat content is extremely low and it does not contain cholesterol, and its price is lower than that of animal protein. It has a tissue structure similar to meat, has a chewy feeling, and has good water absorption and oil retention. Therefore, textured soy protein is widely used in various foods, especially meat products (Such as meatloaf, sausage, etc.) It can increase the products' protein content, reduce production costs, reduce the content of animal fat and cholesterol, improve the nutritional structure of the product, and prevent the product from losing the taste of the meat due to high-temperature heating or mechanical action. And because of its good water absorption and oil retention, it's also helpful to reduce product loss during production, and reduce the greasy feeling of the product. In addition, textured soy protein can also replace meat to produce vegetarian food (such as simulated chicken), or be used in processing pet food, etc., with a wide range of applications
