Questions about Defatted soy flour
What is defatted soy flour, and how is it made?
It is flour made from soya beans after much of their oil has been removed, usually by pressing or solvent extraction, then grinding the remaining material. It is much higher in protein and lower in fat than full-fat soy flour.
Can you use defatted soy flour instead of ordinary flour in baking?
Not as a direct swap: it has no gluten and absorbs plenty of liquid. Start by replacing about 10–20% of the wheat flour in bread, muffins or pancakes, and add a little extra liquid if the batter becomes stiff.
How do you use defatted soy flour to thicken a sauce?
Whisk a spoonful into cold water or stock until smooth, then stir it into the simmering sauce. Cook for several minutes to lose the raw, beany flavour; avoid tipping the dry flour straight into a hot pan, where it clumps.
Does defatted soy flour need to be cooked before eating?
Treat it as a raw ingredient, not a ready-to-eat powder. Bake or cook it thoroughly in batters, breads and sauces; simply stirring it into a cold drink does not provide a cooking step.
How should you store defatted soy flour?
Keep it tightly sealed in a cool, dry cupboard, away from heat and strong-smelling foods. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze it in an airtight container, since even defatted flour can develop stale or rancid flavours.
What can you use instead of defatted soy flour?
Defatted peanut flour is similar in protein and energy: per 100 g it has 52.2 g protein and 327 kcal, compared with 51 g and 327 kcal in defatted soy flour. It brings a distinct peanut flavour and is unsuitable for anyone avoiding peanuts.
How does defatted soy flour differ from full-fat soy flour?
Defatted soy flour contains 1.2 g fat per 100 g, while full-fat soy flour has 20.7 g; full-fat flour also has less protein, at 37.8 g versus 51 g. That makes the defatted version a drier, more concentrated ingredient, so baking recipes may need more liquid.
Is defatted soy flour high in protein?
Yes: a tablespoon weighs about 7 g and supplies roughly 3.6 g protein. It is also high in fibre, with 18 g per 100 g, so it can make doughs and batters noticeably thirsty.
