Soy Protein Patent Analysis Infographics
Share:
We had originally published a Patent Landscape Report on Soy Protein. In this Soy Protein Patent Analysis Infographics, we take a look as how the patent filings in Soy Protein have shaped up since then.
WHAT IS SOY PROTEIN?
Soy protein is a protein that is isolated from soybean. It is made from soybean meal that has been dehulled and defatted. Dehulled and defatted soybeans are processed into three kinds of high protein commercial products: soy flour, concentrates, and isolates. Soy protein is generally regarded as being concentrated in protein bodies, which are estimated to contain at least 60–70% of the total soybean protein. Soybeans also contain biologically active or metabolic proteins, such as enzymes, trypsin inhibitors, hemagglutinins, and cysteine proteases very similar to papain.
SUMMARY OF SOY PROTEIN PATENT FILINGS
The worldwide patent dataset for soy protein contains over 10656 published patents, equating to over 4413 patent families.
