Soybean(s) (U.S.) or soya bean (UK): A legume, the botanical name of which is Glycine max (L.) Merrill. It is a summer annual varying in height from less than a foot to more than 6 feet with a growth habit from stiffly erect to prostrate; cultivated varieties(cultivar) may reach a height of 3 feet or more; the seeds (soybeans) are borne in hairy-pods that grow in clusters of three to five with each pod usually containing 2 or 3 or more seeds. Soybean - Overview. The word soy is derived from th ...

An allergy or Type I hypersensitivity is an immune malfunction whereby a person's body is hypersensitised to react immunologically to typically nonimmunogenic substances. When a person is hypersensitised, these substances are known as allergens. The word allergy derives from the Greek words allos meaning "other" and ergon meaning "reaction" or "reactivity". Type I hypersensitivity is characterised by excessive activation of mast cells by immunoglobulin E resulting in a systemic inflammatory response that can resul ...

Most patients present with diarrhea after ingesting certain foodstuffs, skin symptoms (rashes), bloating, vomiting and regurgitation. The digestive complaints usually develop within half an hour of ingesting the allergen. Rarely, food allergy can lead to anaphylactic shock: hypotension (low blood pressure) and loss of consciousness. This is a medical emergency. Allergens commonly associated with this type of reaction are peanut and shellfish, although latex products can induce similar reactions. Initial treatment is with epinephrine (adrenalin), often c ...

Soybeans can be broadly classified as "vegetable" (garden) or field (oil) types. Vegetable types cook more easily, have a mild nutty flavor, better texture, are larger in size, higher in protein, and lower in oil than field types. Tofu and soymilk producers prefer the higher protein cultivars bred from vegetable soybeans originally brought to the United States in the late 1930s. The "garden" cultivars are generally not suitable for mechanical combine harvesting because they have a tendency for the pods ...

There are limited mainstream medical treatments for allergies, probably the most important factor in rehabilitation is the removal of sources of allergens from the home environment, and avoiding environments in which contact with allergens is likely. The trouble with them is that they have not all been proven. Therefore it could be seen as a placebo, however it has helped people. See also:

Soy protein {90%protein (N x 6.25) on a moisture-free basis} has been available since 1935 for its functional properties. In 1935, African-American chemist, Percy Julian, designed and supervised construction, at the Soy Products Division, Glidden Paint Company, Chicago,Illinois, of the world's first plant for the "isolation" of industrial-grade soy protein. The largest use of industrial grade protein was and still is for paper coatings,in which it serves as a pigment binder. However, Dr. Julian's plant must have also been the source, of the ...

Allergy - Immunotherapy. Hyposensitization is a form of immunotherapy where the patient is gradually vaccinated against progressively larger doses of the allergen in question. This can either reduce the severity or eliminate hypersensitivity altogether. It rel ...

Soy protein - Textured Soy Protein. For more details on this topic, see textured soy protein. TSP is made by forming a dough of defatted soy flour with water in a screw type extruder such as the Wenger and heating with or without added steam. The dough is extruded through a die into various possible shapes; granules, chunks, goulash, steakettes (schnitzle), etc., and dried in an oven. TSP made from soy flour contains 50% soy protein and needs to be rehydrated, before use, at a weight ra ...

Soybeans are an important global crop, with political ramifications. It is grown for its oil and protein. The bulk of the crop is solvent extracted for vegetable oil and the defatted soy meal is used for animal feed. A very small proportion of the crop is consumed directly for food by humans. Soybeans and were used as food in eastern Asia long before written records, and it is still a major crop in China, Japan and Korea. They were first introduced to Europe in the early 1700s and the United States in 1765, where it was first grown fo ...

Soybeans are one of the crops that are being genetically modified, and GMO soybeans are being used in an increasing number of products. Monsanto is the world's leader in genetically modified soy for the commercial market. In 1995, Monsanto introduced "Roundup Ready" (RR) soybeans that have had a complete copy of a gene(plasmid) from the bacteria, Agrobacterium sp. strain CP4, inserted, by means of a gene gun, into its genome that allows the transgenic plant to survive being sprayed by this non-selective, glyphosate-based herbicide. Ro ...

Soy protein may prevent heart problems and many countries allow health claims for foods that are rich in soy protein. A soy protein health claim is allowed in the United States if a serving of the food meets the following conditions: More than 6.25 grams of soy protein Usually less than 3 grams of fat Less than 1 gram of saturated fat Less than 20 milligrams of cholesterol Less than 480 milligrams of sodium There are conflicting studies concerning the phytoestrogens contained in soy protein that bind to estrogen receptors in the body and their effect o ...

There has been a notable increase in the commonness of allergies in the past decades, and there are multiple hypotheses explaining this phenomenon. This is in part because we know what they are, in contrast to earlier humans who would think that it is a non-important illness. Allergy - The hygiene hypothesis. One theory that has been gaining strength is the "hygiene hypothesis". This theory maintains that since children in more affluent countries are leading a cleaner and cleaner life (less exposure to dir ...

The best method for diagnosing food allergy is to be assessed by an allergist. The allergist will discuss the symptoms that occured after the food ingestion. If the allergist feels the reaction is in keeping with a real food allergy, he/she will perform allergy skin tests. These skin tests are performed by a method called skin prick testing. It is generally very safe and tolerated even by young children. The results are available within 15 minutes. Another option is to perform blood testing, called RAST testing, for ...

Soybean - Isoflavones. Soybeans also contain isoflavones, forms of phytoestrogen that are considered by some nutritionists and physicians to be useful in the prevention of cancer, though very controversial and also blamed for some thyroid and reproductive health problems. Isoflavones are polyphenol compounds, produced primarily by beans and other legumes, including peanuts and chickpeas. So ...

Soybean - Protein. Soybeans are a source of complete protein. A complete protein is one that contains significant amounts of all the essential amino acids that must be provided to the human body because of the body's inability to synthesize them. For this reason, soy is important to many vegetarians and vegans. Soy protein is similar to that of other legume seeds, but has the highest yield per square meter of growing area, and it's the least expensive source of dietary protein. The only non-legume to have an almost identical protein profile to soy is the cereal oat (A ...

Soy protein - Isolates. Soy protein isolate is the most refined form of soy protein and also has the highest soy protein content (90%). It is made from defatted soy meal which has had most of the fats and carbohydrates removed. Because of this, it has a neutral flavor and will cause less gas due to bacterial flatulence. Soy isolates are mainly used to improve the texture and eating quality of meat products, but it is also used for other nutritional (increasing protein content), sensorial (better mouthfeel, ...
