Low Fat Soy Meal (LOSO16)
ABOUT LOW FAT SOY
We make all our ingredients directly from whole, dehulled soybeans using only natural processing methods. In addition to being highly functional, ingredients made with low fat soybeans contains a higher amount of the protein found in the original soybean. Because no chemicals are used in our processing, each product retains all of the natural nutrients and phytochemicals of the soybean.
NPI utilizes the extrusion-expelling process to remove 65% of the fat, raising the protein to over 48% and producing an excellent, economical high protein ingredient that can be used alone to improve the nutritional quality of baked goods, or in conjunction with more expensive concentrates and isolates to lower ingredient costs.
