Abstract
Much attention has been focused on the oilseed crops as an alternate and largely untapped source of food protein in an endeavor to provide needed nourishment for large segments of the world's expanding population. A significant part of this attention has been devoted to the practical concentration and isolation of the proteins of several oilseeds. As a result of intensive effort during the last decade, soy protein concentrates and isolates are now commercial commodities which are gaining increasing acceptance as useful functional and nutritional ingredients for food. This report is concerned with a brief review of the commercial processing, product characteristics and food utilization of soy protein concentrates and isolates. In addition, pertinent comments on the concentrates and isolates of other oilseed are included.
