All big words but ‘environmentally sustainable solutions’ are what we strive for each and every day here at Burcon. A new review study published in the Journal of Food Engineering talks about the value of by-products left behind from vegetable oilseed processing. Many oilseed plants used for the production of vegetable oil are also high in protein content that can potentially be used for human consumption. As we are well-aware, consuming a plant-based diet is far more sustainable than any animal-based diet.
A new study indicates that postmenopausal women who consume a diet rich in soy protein reduces atherosclerosis by 16%. The reduction jumps to 68% for women who experienced menopause within the past five years.
Protein could be (if it isn’t already) the next big thing in healthy diets and weight management. The health-conscious consumers are more aware of the benefits of protein in the diet and are looking for leaner and higher-quality protein. You don’t always have to eat a slab of meat to get the protein you need.
