Company Overview - Product Families
Soy Flours: Made by grinding dehulled, defatted
soybean flakes. Soy flours are approximately 50
percent protein by weight and are primarily used in baked
goods.
Soy Protein Concentrates: Made by removing
a portion of the carbohydrates from defatted and dehulled soybeans.
Soy protein concentrates retain most of the fiber in the original
soybeans and must contain
at least 65% protein on a moisture-free basis. They are often used
as a functional or nutritional ingredient in a wide variety of
food products.
Soy Protein Isolates: Prepared through a process
using water extraction and minimum heat on soy flakes. The product
is nearly
carbohydrate and fat-free and
are 90 percent protein by dry-weight. Isolated soy proteins
are used as a nutritional, functional or economic alternative to traditional
proteins in food bars, beverages,
baked goods, breads, cereals, poultry, red meat, and seafood products.
| Soy Lecithins: Lecithins are
a naturally occurring component of soybeans. Lecithins are
obtained from
soy oil after the oil's extraction from the soybean flakes.
A wide variety of refined lecithins are available, they provide
important surface active properties to a variety of foods such
as instant drink mixes, infant formulas, meat sauces and gravies,
dispersible oleoresins, pan releases, chewing gum, and no-fat
bakery and snack foods. |

Soy Fibers: A
fiber source derived from the soybean. Due to its neutral taste and light color,
soy fiber can be incorporated into a variety of high-fiber and reduced-calorie
products; such as, baked goods, cereal and beverages, without affecting traditional
quality. Extensive clinical studies with soy fiber have proven that
it provides all the benefits associated with both soluble and insoluble fiber.
Soy Polymers: Provide benefits
as functional additives for the coated paper and paperboard markets. High performance,
soy-based polymers are derived from innovative technology for specific market
applications.
