Textured Soy Protein From China Nutrition Enhancers as a Meat Extender

Product Description

Textured Soy Protein (TSP), also commonly known as Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) —though TVP is a registered trademark of ADM (Archer Daniels Midland Company) — is a highly functional, plant-based food ingredient derived from soybeans.

It is produced from defatted soy flour, a byproduct of soybean oil extraction. Through a process called extrusion cooking (applying heat, pressure, and mechanical shear), the soy protein is denatured and realigned, creating a fibrous, porous, and spongy matrix that strikingly mimics the texture and mouthfeel of cooked animal meat .
