To investigate which protein properties affect the quality of high moisture textured vegetable (HTVP), we compared 12 commercial Soy Protein Concentrate (SPC). The comparison revealed that characteristics different SPCs vary greatly, significant impact on extrusion products. There were differences in degree texturization, textural properties, and sensory score Statistical correlation analysis b...

Models for determining contents of soy products in ground beef were developed using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Samples were prepared by mixing four kinds of soybean protein products (Arconet, toasted soy grits, Profam and textured vegetable protein (TVP)) with ground beef (content from 0%–100%). NIR spectra of meat mixtures were measured with dispersive (400–2500 nm) and Fourier transfor...

The consumption of foods made from soybeans is increasing because of their desirable nutritional value. However, some soy foods contain high concentrations of oxalate and/or phytate. Oxalate is a component of calcium oxalate kidney stones, whereas phytate is an inhibitor of calcium kidney stone formation. Thirty tested commercial soy foods exhibited ranges of 0.02-2.06 mg oxalate/g and 0.80-18....

BACKGROUND To examine the effects of soy [in the form of textured soy protein (TSP) and soy-nut] on body composition in elderly women with metabolic syndrome (MetS). METHODS A 12-week randomized clinical trial was conducted on 75 women between 60-70 years of age with MetS in rural health clinics around Babol, Iran in 2009. The participants were randomly assigned to one of the three groups of ...

BACKGROUND This study ascertained the effects of soy, in the forms of textured soy protein (TSP) and soy nuts, on lipid profiles, apolipoproteins, inflammatory and prothrombotic markers, and blood pressure in elderly women diagnosed with metabolic syndrome (MetS). METHODS This was a 12-week parallel, randomized, controlled trial conducted in rural health centers of Babol, Iran. Participants w...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of feeding dietary soy protein and soy protein supplemented with methionine on lipids and lipoproteins content of blood in wistar rats. sixteen male and 16 female wistar rats with the initial live weight of 116 ± 6.3 and 115.8 ± 6.8 grams respectively, were fed by the isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets containing casein (20%), soy protein...

bone mass loss is one of the commonest menopause symptoms, resulting from cessation of estrogen production. compounds which have estrogen – like biological activity similar to “isoflavones” present in plants especially soy, may reduce bone loss in postmenopausal women, because as they are similar in structure to estrogens. this study, therefore, was undertaken to assess the effect of soy protei...

BACKGROUND Lipid abnormalities, particularly high serum concentration of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], are one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of soy consumption on serum lipids and apoproteins, especially Lp(a), in PD patients. ♢ METHODS This study was a randomized clinical tr...

DVE2010 system was used for model prediction of nutrient supply to ruminants from soy bean meal (SBM), extruded soy bean meal (SBE) and full-fat soybean meal (FSBM). Extruded soy bean meal had the highest truly absorbed rumen undegraded protein in the small intestine (ARUP) followed by SBM and FSBM. There was no significant difference between SBE and FSBM in the case of truly absorbed rumen syn...
