Isolates have specified functional proerties that enable them to modify the physical properties of food products. Soy Isolates are
characterized by certain functional properties : Solubility, Gelation, Emulsification, Dispersibility, Viscosity, and retort stability.
Functionality is similar to meat and dairy protein. Functional / physical proprties involved are dispersibility, water absorption solubility,
viscosity, emulsification and gelation.
Isolates have high water absorption values. It Possess both emulsifying and emulsion stabilizing properties, are excellent binders of fat and
water, and are good adhesive agents. In meat products high viscosity procon-902 HV provides strong gel strength through exceptionally high water
binding. It is widely used in meat industry due to its moisture and fat binding properties and emulsion stabilizers.
Soya protein Isolate aids on forming a gel which acts as a matrix for holding moisture, fat and solids. This results in textural Properties
resembling those of meat proteins, which is especially important for use in comminuted meats.
