Uses of soy protein in mixed protein systems to meet nutritional needs

Abstract

Soya products can be introduced into animal protein food systems to supplement animal protein. This can serve to increase the total protein available to target populations. Nutritional studies have demonstrated that mixtures of soya protein and meat or soya protein and fish are of a biological quality similar to that of meat or fish protein when fed alone. Soya products also can be used in mixed protein systems with vegetable proteins to complement amino acids. Many studies with human subjects have demonstrated the utility of soya products in a variety of soya-cereal foods that can serve as the major source of protein for infants and children.
