Protein isolated from Glycine max seed; plant protein of amino-acid residues only; extraction reagents leave no mass; 1.0.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.
Where it comes from
Defatted soybean meal is extracted with water at alkaline pH, and the protein is precipitated and dried. No alternative route is significant.
