soy protein concentrates (SPC)

Soy Protein Concentrate (SPC) is a food ingredient made from defatted soybeans that has a protein content of at least 65% and is produced by removing some of the water-soluble carbohydrates. It is used in food and animal feed for its functional properties, such as emulsification and moisture retention, and its ability to serve as a cost-effective protein source. SPC is available in various forms and can be produced using methods like aqueous alcohol extraction, which also helps remove anti-nutritional factors.
