Description
Chifam Soybeans are considered by many agencies to be a source of
complete protein. A complete protein is one that contains
significant amounts of all the essential amino acids that must be
provided to the human body because of the body's inability to
synthesize them. For this reason, Chifam soya is a good source of
protein, amongst many others, for vegetarians and vegans or for
people who want to reduce the amount of meat they eat.
Chifam Soya protein products can be good substitutes for animal
products because, unlike some other beans, soy offers a 'complete'
protein profile. Soy protein products can replace animal-based
foods—which also have complete proteins but tend to contain more
fat, especially saturated fat—without requiring major adjustments
elsewhere in the diet.
The gold standard for measuring protein quality, since ***0, is the
Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) and by
this criterion soy protein is the nutritional equivalent of meat,
eggs, and casein for human growth and health. Soybean protein
isolate has a biological value of *4, whole soybeans *6, soybean
milk *1, and eggs *7.
