Investigations undertaken to elucidate the mechanism whereby concentrates of the soy bean trypsin inhibitor depress growth have indicated that an inhibition of intestinal proteolysis is not the only factor involved (l-3). In a previous paper (4), it was shown that a concentrate of the soy bean trypsin inhibitor, which had been treated so as to destroy its antitryptic activity, still retained th...

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 acha (Digitaria exile staff) grain was washed (tap water), sun dried, milled and sieved (400mn sieve aperture) to produce acha flour. The beniseed(Sesamum indicum) seeds were sorted, washed, sun dried, milled, defatted (using ethanol), dried and sieved (400mn sieve aperture) to produce beniseed flour. The defatted beniseed flour was substituted into the acha flour at 0-20% to produce benise...

The physicochemical and sensory properties of peanut spreads fortified with soy flour were studied. Peanut spreads were replaced by whole soybean flour and soy nut flour at 0, 5, 15, 20 and 30% (w/w). All samples were analyzed for fat, protein, sugar, moisture content, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, hardness and sensory characteristics. Replacing peanut spread with soy flour had significant effect...

Effect of texturized defatted meal of sunflower, soybean and flaxseed on quality characteristics of chapatti was investigated. Texturized defatted meal of sunflower, soybean and flaxseed was blended at 10%. 20%, 30% and 40% levels with wheat flour (atta) for making chapatti making. Chapattis were evaluated for physical, textural, sensory and functional properties. Proximate analysis of defatted...

The effects on the pancreas of chronic dietary exposure to defatted soy flour and soy protein isolate have been studied in two two-year feeding trials in rats. Emphasis was placed on detecting changes that might accompany low levels of dietary trypsin inhibitor (TI) as might be found in edible grade soy products and on studying the influence of protein nutrition. The major pathological findings...

BACKGROUND Soy protein may reduce coronary heart disease (CHD) risk by lowering LDL cholesterol, but few studies have assessed whether whole soy flour displays a similar effect. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the dose effect of whole soy flour incorporated into muffins on plasma LDL cholesterol in hypercholesterolemic adults. METHODS Adults aged 30-70 y (n = 243) with elevate...
