What is ground soy (textured soy protein)?
Textured soy protein can be ground or cubed depending on its structure. It is a natural and additive-free plant-based product obtained by removing the hulls and oil from non-GMO soybeans, then applying a series of special processes to soy flour, which contains 52 protein, and then compressing it under pressure and heat to give it a plant-based meat texture.
Uses
Soy mince is preferred and its use is increasing worldwide due to its properties such as not altering the taste or color of the product it is added to, its ability to enhance the flavor of the product used, its high protein and fiber content, its affordability, and its health benefits as a plant-based protein source, as shown in numerous studies. It is the most commonly used protein source in diets and vegetarian diets due to its cholesterol and fat-free nature. It is also an indispensable product in athletes' nutrition due to its high protein and amino acid content.
It is widely used in the salami, sausage, and sucuk sectors, in ready-made food manufacturers, and in manti production both globally and in our country.
