Defatted Toasted Soya Grits

Product Description

Cleaned soybeans are cracked, dehulled, conditioned, and rolled into flakes. The flakes may be optionally expanded and are then subjected to solvent extraction to remove the oil. After efficient extraction, the spent flakes are desolventized using a Flash Desolventizer (FDS) to obtain Defatted Toasted Soya Grits. The product is finally milled and sieved to achieve the desired particle size.

Intended Uses

Defatted Toasted Soy Grits is rich source of protein. Their natural enzyme activity is inactivated during processing through wet heat treatment, making them readily available for use with minimal or no further processing. They are used in producing snacks and processed foods to boost protein levels while maintaining product stability and flavor. They are also utilized in protein drinks and shakes for added nutrition, without the risk of enzyme interference affecting taste or texture.

Similarly, they can be incorporated into confectionery products like high-protein chocolates and energy bars. Non-food applications include the production of adhesives for plywood and other wood products due to their strong binding properties. The stability of Defatted Toasted Soya Grits makes it an ideal component for industrial uses, including biodegradable plastics and coatings, where heat treatment provides structural integrity and a longer shelf life.
