Solae ~ ALPHA® 5800 Soy-Protein Concentrates

ST. LOUISSolae, a provider of healthy ingredients for nutritious products, launched ALPHA® 5800 product line. Solae ALPHA 5800 and ALPHA 5812 are soy-protein concentrates made with patented membrane technology. This line of soy-protein concentrates can be used for a variety of food and beverage products, including: ready-to-drink (RTD) and dry blended beverages, frozen desserts, puddings, cream fillings, cheeses, yogurts and more. Additionally, the ALPHA 5800 product line could be used for products with low to medium protein inclusion levels as the protein content of these ingredients is 78 percent on a dry-weight basis.

The ALPHA 5800 product line uses proprietary membrane technology processing with water extraction, and it has the following attributes that differentiate it from whole-bean extract: naturally lower in sodium, fat and carbohydrates; higher in protein;  maintains finished product consistency; and reduces formulation flexibility.

In Solae's consumer sensory testing, when ALPHA 5800 and ALPHA 5812 were used in a soymilk product concept, they were rated significantly higher in flavor liking, mouthfeel liking and aftertaste liking versus a soymilk concept using whole-bean extract.
