The consumption of soy protein was shown to reduce blood lipids in humans and other animal species. Furthermore, it was shown that the ingestion of soy protein maintains normal insulinemia. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to determine whether soy protein affects the synthesis of lipids in the liver through sterol-regulatory element binding protein-1 (SREBP-1) due to modulation of ins...

Abstract Plant-based emulsion gels can be used as solid animal fat substitutes for vegan sausages. For this reason, commercially available protein isolates with different amino acid profiles from pea, soy and potato (Pea-1, Pea-2, Soy, Potato) have been tested their ability to form shape stable emulsions at neutral pH upon heating 72 °C. In order obtain that are possible, the concentrations in ...

This study was aimed at developing value-added low sodium chloride (NaCl), phosphate-free restructured patties using minced channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) belly flap meat. The effect of microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) and nonmeat proteins (isolated soy protein, ISP, and whey protein concentrate, WPC; 1.7%, respectively) alone and in combination were evaluated to improve cooking yield...

Background: Experiments were carried out to compare the hypolipidemic effects of cashew protein and soy protein in male rats. Materials and Methods: Rats were divided in to three groups. Group-I administered casein, group-II soy protein and group-III cashew protein for 60 days. At the end of the experimental period blood and tissues were collected for the analysis of lipid parameters and enzyme...

High-performance liquid chromatographic methods were developed for the isolation and quantitative determination of the group B soyasaponins, including 2,3-dihydro-2,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one (DDMP)-conjugated soyasaponins alphag, betag, and betaa, and their non-DDMP counterparts, soyasaponins V, I, and II, respectively, with formononetin used as the internal standard. The limits of qu...

Soybean is the second largest acreage crop in the United States (29%), right after corn (35%) according to the American Soybean Association [1]. Soybean is widely consumed in the world, particularly in Asian countries. The various soybean products could be separated in‐ to non-fermented and fermented soybean products. The non-fermented soybean products include soymilk, tofu, yuba, soybean sprou...

This study sought to investigate the ameliorating effects of soy 11S protein on the impacts of alcohol consumption in rat hepatocytes and in reducing total cholesterol levels and total lipid levels in the serum. Liver histology and the clinically important enzyme markers (Aspartate Aminotransferase: AST and Alanine Aminotransferase: ALT) of rats, administered with both alcohol and soy 11S prote...

Meat, as an important source of protein, is one of the main parts of many people’s diet. Due toeconomic interests and thereupon adulteration, there are special concerns on its accurate labeling.In this study Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy combined with chemometrictechniques (principal component analysis (PCA), artificial neural networks (ANNs), and partial<...

An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effect of selenium-yeast (Se-yeast) supplementation on replacing fishmeal with soy protein concentrate (SPC) in diets for golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus). The control diet (C) contained 400 g/kg fishmeal, which 40% and 80% C were substituted by SPC, or without 1 Se-yeast (four diets, R40, R80, R40 + Se, R80 formulated). weight gain fi...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess the independent effect of soy relative to common sources of animal protein and soy-derived isoflavones on blood lipids. METHODS AND RESULTS Forty-two subjects with LDL cholesterol levels > or =3.36 mmol/L were fed each of four diets in randomized order for 6 weeks per phase. Diets contained a minimum of 25 g animal protein or isolated soy pr...
