Soybean flour is a high-protein food and feed ingredient made by grinding defatted or full-fat soybeans into a fine powder. It is a rich source of protein, fiber, and essential amino acids, widely used in food processing, animal nutrition, and industrial applications.
Soybean flour comes in various forms, including toasted, untoasted, full-fat, and defatted types, depending on the processing method and intended application.
It is widely used in:
- Food industry for baked goods, meat substitutes, snacks, and protein fortification
- Animal feed as a protein-rich supplement for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture
- Industrial applications such as adhesives and bio-based plastics
Soybean flour helps improve nutritional value, texture, and moisture retention in food products, while offering an economical and sustainable source of plant-based protein.
Packaging and Storage
We can supply soybean flour in 50 lb (22.7 kg) and 110 lb (50 kg) bags and can ship a 20-foot container containing approximately 22 MT of product.
Storage:
- Store in cool, dry, and well-ventilated areas away from moisture and direct sunlight.
- Keep bags sealed and elevated on pallets to prevent contamination and pest infestation.
- Avoid exposure to strong odors or chemicals, as soybean flour can absorb smells.
- Implement FIFO inventory practices to preserve freshness and nutritional value.
Handling:
- Wear dust masks and protective clothing to minimize inhalation or contact during handling.
- Use clean and dry equipment to avoid microbial contamination.
- Keep away from water or humidity to prevent clumping and spoilage.
- Avoid mixing with incompatible products, especially during transport or storage.
