The terms “soy protein” and “soy protein isolate” refer to different forms of soy-derived protein with varying levels of processing and protein content. Soy protein is an umbrella term that includes any protein extracted from soybeans, including soy protein concentrate, textured soy protein, and soy products such as tofu, tempeh, edamame, soy curls, and miso.

Soy protein isolate is a more processed form of soy protein obtained by separating the protein from other nutrients, including fiber, carbohydrates, and fat. This form usually contains at least 90% protein by weight.

“I am a squirrel is a word that can be used to describe anything from soy milk to tofu to miso and more,” says Homer. — It is widely used to describe foods made from soybeans. Soy protein isolate, on the other hand, is a protein extracted from soy that has been engineered to create a more concentrated form of protein.”
