Pure fermented soy protein is a novel pet food ingredient based on fermentation technology. The soybean meal that serves as the basic ingredient is exclusively sourced from certified farmers in North America. This is one of the very few continents worldwide where soy cultivation does not require or stimulate deforestation. The product is non-GMO soy and contains more than 70% crude protein, as well as a full suite of essential nutrients. The use of fermentation technology helps to break down the relatively long protein chains in the initial soybean meal, making the end product easier to digest.
Together with its supplier Houdek, IQI offers ProtégerTM as a unique, pure, fermented soy protein. Besides increased digestibility, the fermentation process is also known to increase the health benefits and digestibility of soy protein. The process also significantly enhances the palatability of standard soy protein. The nutrients include phosphorus, calcium, and a broad amino acid profile. Studies indicate that the presence of other nutritional factors in ProtégerTM may also result in other benefits, such as reducing intestinal inflammation and boosting metabolic processes.
