Soy protein isolate

　　Main Application Areas

　　1. Food Industry (Core Field)

　　Meat products: As a modifier, an addition of 2-5% can improve water-holding capacity, elasticity, and sliceability (e.g., sausages, ham, meatballs), reduce the amount of fat and meat, and lower costs;

　　Dairy alternatives: Used in plant milks (e.g., soy milk), non-dairy creamers, and cheese alternatives to provide protein nutrition and a creamy texture, suitable for lactose-intolerant populations;

　　Beverages and nutritional products: High-protein beverages (e.g., sports drinks, meal replacement shakes), utilizing their high solubility and low allergenicity (compared to soy protein concentrate);

　　Vegetarian and functional foods: Mock meat, veggie burgers, etc., simulating meat texture through gelling properties; used as a plant protein source in infant formula (methionine needs to be fortified).

　　2. Non-food Fields

　　Feed industry: As a high-protein additive for aquaculture and pet feed (easy to digest, no anti-nutritional factors);

　　Pharmaceuticals and cosmetics: In pharmaceuticals as a protein supplement (e.g., post-operative nutritional preparations); in cosmetics utilizing its moisturizing properties (binding with the skin's stratum corneum), used in face creams and shampoos.
