- High quality soybean fibre is now made commercially from "okara"
(soy pulp), a by-product of tofu production. Soy pulp is the insoluble
part of soybean that remains when pureed soybeans are filtered in the
production of soy milk. It is high in fibre and contains protein.
- Companies that make soy yarn usually use byproducts of food
manufacturing that would normally be discarded, putting the waste
through an extrusion and wet spinning process to create fibers that can
be spun into yarn
- soybean fiber is manufactured using new, cutting
edge bioengineering technologies. It is produced by extracting proteins
from the residual oils of soybean cake - a liquid "batter" is created
and cooked, then the fiber is produced by wet-spinning and stabilized by
acetylating, and is then cut into short staples after curling and
thermoforming.
- Wet-spun soy fibers were successfully produced in 4% HCl baths
containing various inorganic salts.
- For extrusion, the soy protein
was equilibrated with 40% of water and 15% of glycerol for 24 hours at
room temperature before extrusion at 96°C at 20 rpm
with a Brabender twin screw machine fitted with a die with eight of
368-n openings - Soy Fibres are extensively used in Medical & wound
healing applications
