Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States.1 Diet has a major impact on several modifiable risk factors for heart disease: hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, elevated LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. The recommended low-saturated-fat, lowcholesterol diet1 does help lower risk of CVD.2,3 However, other dietar...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of soy isoflavone protein concentrate and soy lecithin on endothelial function, measured as flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery in healthy postmenopausal women. DESIGN This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial with 25 participants (mean age, 61 years; body mass index, 25.46 kg/m2). The women underwent endothelial fu...

The concentration dependence of dynamic moduli G’ and G” of soy protein isolates (SPI) and soy protein concentrates (SPC) were studied in solutions prepared under different conditions. Three-level preliminary fractional experiments were undertaken to study effects of temperature, pH, concentration on the gel strength of soy protein isolate and soy protein concentrate solutions. Protein concentr...

Direct inquiries to Dr. R. P. Konstance. ABSTRACT Blends were developed to provide 20% protein, 12% fat, 68% carbohydrate and 8% moisture. High protein soy products (full fat flakes, protein isolate and/or concentrate) wer...

Plant protein concentrates are used to enhance the nutritional quality of bread and respond demand consumers with respect increased intake. In present study, samples were produced using pea concentrate (PP) soy (SP) substituting wheat flour by 5%, 10%, 15%. The levels between 1.2- 1.7-fold 1.1- 1.3-fold higher than control bread. incorporation 10% 15% PP allowed for achievement a “high protein”...

Abstract Protein is a key structural component in many foods. Soybeans are plant-based protein source, that used food. Soy concentrate generally high nutrients, particularly protein, with an essential amino acid profile immense plant products and closely resembles animal protein. In increasing the characteristics of processed soybean products, such as physical modification, namely preheated pro...
