Textured vegetable protein was invented by the agricultural commodities and food processing company Archer Daniels Midland in the 1960s; the company owns the name “textured vegetable protein” and the acronym TVP as registered trademarks.[4] Archer Daniels Midland had developed a textured soy protein isolate made with an extruder in the shape of rods or tubes. The soy protein isolate was produced in a small pilot plant and sold for use in chili powder, but the product was not commercially successful. By 1968, TVP was widely used in a variety of food products, and consumption skyrocketed after 1971, when TVP was approved for use in school lunch programs. By 1980, similar products were being produced by rival companies in America, but Archer Daniels Midland remained the leader in TVP production.

TVP is usually made from high (50%) soy protein, soy flour or concentrate, but can also be made from cottonseed, wheat, and oats. It is extruded into various shapes (chunks, flakes, nuggets, grains, and strips) and sizes, exiting the nozzle while still hot and expanding as it does so.[1] The defatted thermoplastic proteins are heated to 150–200 °C (300–390 °F), which denatures them into a fibrous, insoluble, porous network that can soak up as much as three times its weight in liquids. As the pressurized molten protein mixture exits the extruder, the sudden drop in pressure causes rapid expansion into a puffy solid that is then dried. As much as 50% protein when dry, TVP can be rehydrated at a 2:1 ratio, which drops the percentage of protein to an approximation of ground meat at 16%. TVP is primarily used as a meat substitute due to its very low cost at less than a third the price of ground beef [6][7] and, when cooked together, will help retain more nutrients from the meat by absorbing juices normally lost.[6]

Many TVP producers use hexane to separate soy fat from soy protein, and trace amounts of the solvent are left after manufacturing. But the few rodent studies that have been done suggest it would be almost impossible to get enough hexane from TVP to cause harm.[8] Measured levels of residual hexane in TVP are around 20 parts per million;[9] and studies in rodents suggest that 5 g/kg is the minimum dose at which undesirable effects may be observed.

oya beans also contain compounds called phytosterols. These plant compounds are structurally similar to cholesterol and work in the body by inhibiting choleterols absorption. This explains why regularly eating foods like soya has been associated with reduced cholesterol levels. Studies suggest this includes a reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the type often referred to as ‘bad’ cholesterol and total cholesterol.

Regular consumption of legumes, including soya beans, has also been linked to a lower risk of heart disease; this is thought to be because they are a rich source of phytochemicals as well as fibre.

Soy is generally recognised as safe for most people, unless you have a soy allergy, when it should be avoided. Soybeans are also considered to be goitrogenic, which means they interfere with the activity of the thyroid gland. Although in practice this effect may be minimal, if you have a thyroid condition you may wish to minimise your intake.

Soy products contain oxalate, and for this reason people with a history of calcium oxalate kidney stones may choose to avoid overconsuming soy products. However, studies suggest that soy products containing some oxalate and moderate amounts of phytates may actually be advantageous for kidney stone patients.

The consumption of soy has become controversial over recent years, with some animal studies suggesting a link with certain cancers. In support of the food’s safety, the European Food Safety Authority has concluded that soy isoflavones do not adversely affect the thyroid, breast or uterus in postmenopausal women.

Soya contains antinutrients including trypsin inhibitors and phytates; these may inhibit our absorption of some of the bean’s valuable nutrients. Soaking or fermenting the soybeans before cooking can minimize these compounds – this is why choosing traditional soya products, like tempeh and miso, can provide superior nutritional value.
