Defatted Untoasted 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 Untoasted Soya Grits. The product is finally milled and sieved to achieve the desired particle size.

Intended Uses

Defatted Untoasted Soya Grits is a rich source of protein. Their natural enzyme activity remains intact even during the processing. It is thus valuable in specialized processes for food preparations such as texturized soy protein products through extrusion, bread and other bakery products, fermented foods viz., soy sauce, miso and tempeh.

It is also used in the preparation of hydrolyzed soy protein, where the active enzymes assist in breaking down proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids, making them suitable for use in infant formulas, nutritional supplements, and functional foods. It is utilized in soy milk and other dairy substitutes; it can be added to staple foods like flour and pasta.

It acts as a nutrient source in fermentation processes for cultivating beneficial microorganisms. The non-food applications include fabric finishing and paper processing.
