Soyabeans are a wonderful source of plant-based protein. Unlike most plant protein, soy has all nine essential amino acids. Non-vegetarians mostly get them from animal protein.
Protein content of soya products (Per 100 g):
Soya chunk 52 g
Soya chaap 15 g
Soya paneer 14.5 g
Soya milk 3.2 g per 100 ml
Raw soybeans contain a trypsin inhibitor, trypsin- key enzymes to digest proteins. Heat inactivates the trypsin inhibitor, so boiling or any form of cooking destroy trypsin inhinitor.
Boiling at atmospheric pressure during 20 minutes is required to destroy 80% of the soybeans antitrypsin activity.
