Isolated Soy Protein
Isolated Soy Protein (ISP) is a type of protein that is derived from soybeans. It is made by removing the fat and carbohydrates from soybeans, leaving only the protein behind. ISP is a complete protein, meaning that it contains all nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot produce on their own.
Vegetarian and vegan meat substitutes, such as tofu, tempeh, and veggie burgers, to provide a meat-like texture and increase the protein content of the product. It is also used as a binder in processed meats, such as sausages and hot dogs, to improve their texture and reduce the amount of fat and cholesterol.
ISP can also be added to baked goods, such as bread, muffins, and cookies, to improve their texture and increase their protein content. It is often used in protein bars and meal replacement shakes as a source of protein.
Another application of ISP is in sports nutrition products, such as protein powders and bars, to help athletes and fitness enthusiasts meet their protein needs and support muscle recovery after exercise.
