Whereas a number of studies have examined the effects of soy isoflavones and tocopherols on colonic inflammation, few have examined soy protein. We determined the radical scavenging and cytoprotective effects of soy protein concentrate (SPC) in vitro and its anti-inflammatory effects in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-treated mice. Cotreatment with SPC protected Caco-2 human colon cells from H2O2-...

We previously found that dietary soy protein produces higher lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] plasma concentrations than does casein. This study tested the hypothesis that soy protein contains Lp(a)-raising alcohol-removable components. Twelve normolipidemic women and men consumed, in a crossover design, liquid-formula diets containing casein, soy protein, or alcohol-extracted soy protein. Dietary period...

The aim of this study was to replace fish meal (FM) with soy protein concentrate (SPC) in carp diets. During a feeding trial, the replacement FM SPC four diets 100% (SPC100); 50% (SPC50); 25% (SPC25), and; 0% (SPC0) had no negative effects on feed conversion ratio or efficiency live carp. However, significant differences specific growth rate and condition factor were found. data obtained showed...

Comparisons of the physical and sensory properties of several commercial egg alternatives in angel food cake formulation were studied. Fourteen samples were investigated for foaming properties at 10 and 20 min whipping time: collagen, Cryogel gelatin, Solugel collagen hydroysates, gelatin, whey protein concentrate, fish protein, whey protein isolate (95% WPI, 90%WPI), hydrolyzed whey protein is...

The apparently smaller LDL cholesterol (LDL-C)-lowering effect of soy in recent studies has prompted the U.S. FDA to reexamine the heart health claim previously allowed for soy products. We therefore attempted to estimate the intrinsic and extrinsic (displacement) potential of soy in reducing LDL-C to determine whether the heart health claim for soy continues to be justified. The intrinsic effe...

An eight-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of soy isoflavone and saponin on growth performance, intestinal structure, immunity gut microbiota community rice field eel Monopterus albus (initial weight 20.12 ± 0.15 g). Six isonitrogenous isolipidic experimental feeds were formulated, including a positive control (55% fish meal, FM), negative (28.6% 37.2% soybean SBM) basic ...

guar gum and whey proteins concentrate (wpc-35) were used as functional additives to improve the functional characteristics (hardness and meltability) of the na-caseinate-based imitation cheese. also, the alterations in the composition, sensory acceptance, color, and texture caused by these ingredients were evaluated. imitation cheeses were formulated with three levels each of wpc (0, 1.5, and ...

Modification of natural polymers like protein by graft co-polymerization is an important method to incorporate the desired properties into the backbone. Soy protein concentrate (SPC) was grafted with ethylmethacrylate (EMA) using ascorbic acid /potassium persulphate as redox initiator system under pressure. Different reaction parameters such as reaction time, reaction pressure, solvent amount, ...
