Application of soy and its processed products in the processing and food industry

The article provides an analysis of data on the use of soy and its processed products, such as soy flour, oil, meal, concentrate, isolate, texturate, soy milk, tofu, whey and soy okara. A comparative description of soy products and features of their use in various technologies, as well as formulations of food products and feed additives, is presented. The prospects for the use of soybeans and soybean products are due to the increasing volumes of soybean sown areas every year. This shows the prospects for increasing the products of its processing. An analysis of Russian and foreign literary sources has shown that the use of raw materials such as soybeans and its processed products is widespread. The largest producers of soy products are Japan, Korea, China, Singapore, the USA and South America. In Russia, soybean processing is carried out at processing enterprises located in the sphere of small businesses and working on local raw materials. The beneficial effect of soy products on improving the consumer properties of food products, as well as on human and animal health, has been shown. In this regard, it is relevant to improve technologies and formulations of mass food products, as well as balanced animal feeds using soy products. The use of soybean processing products instead of the main raw materials will not only enrich the final products with dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals and complete protein, but also improve the physical and chemical properties of semi-finished products and finished products.
