DuPont Nutrition & Health Explains The Power Of Soy Protein 

As we all know that protein makes an important part of our daily dose of nutrition and is an important component of every cell in the body. Protein is an important building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood. Protein is the main building element of most of the body structures. Knowing the benefits of protein and its different sources, When I got an opportunity to join the bloggers meet by DuPont Nutrition & Health and Ebix India, to learn about benefits and power of Soy Protein, I felt privileged to join in and was super excited for it.

On 29th September 2018, I got a privilege to be a part of Bloggers Meet By DuPont and Ebix India to talk and learn about benefits of Soy Protein in presence of Mr. Indranil Chatterjee, Mrs. Karuna Jaikrishna & Mr. Sujith Sathyadas from DuPont Nutrition & Health and Dr. Namita Nadar from Fortis Hospital.

What Is Soy Protein?
Soy Protein is high-quality plant-based complete protein, which means it delivers all the essential amino acids in an appropriate amount to support growth and development. Soy protein has its unique health benefits and is must need across the lifespan.

Soy Protein – Where Does It Come From?As we all know and can even tell by the name that soy protein comes from Soybean.

• Composition Of Soybean.

1. Soybean contains only 36% of protein.
2. Rest part contains mono & oligosaccharides, dietary fiber, oil and other content like moisture and ash.

Isolated Soy Protein Is Simply Protein Portion Of The Soybean, Separated And Isolated From Rest Of The Protein.

Isolated soy protein contains the highest amount (~ 90%) of protein as compared other soy products.

Soy is a high-quality protein – PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score)

PDCAAS is the globally recognized method for determining protein quality based on Amino Acid profile and digestibility.

DuPont Danisco Isolated Soy Protein has a PDCAAS Score Of 1.00. Soy protein is comparable to high-quality animal protein and is the only widely available high-quality plant-based protein. Soy protein is low in fat and saturated fat and because it is from a plant its both lactose and cholesterol free.
