DESCRIPTION

Soy Protein Concentrate occurs as a powder or as granules, textured flakes, or textured chunks, with color ranging from off-white to tan. It is derived from soybean (Glycine max) (Fam. Leguminosae) by specific processing steps employed to reduce or remove nonprotein constituents (water, oil, and carbohydrates) to achieve a 65% minimum protein content on the dry basis. Good manufacturing practices require that the pH during processing not exceed 9 to avoid formation of lysinoalanine.
