Soy protein isolate
Soy protein isolate is the soy protein with the highest content of protein. Soy protein isolate is made from defatted soy flakesl. Most of the fats and carbohydrates have been removed, yielding a product with 90 percent soy protein.
Therefore, soy protein isolate has a very neutral flavour compared to other soy products. Because most of the soy carbohydrates are removed it will reduce gas caused by bacterial flatulence.
