TSP Production in Latin America
South and Central America have experienced a growing expansion in demand for producing high-quality, sustainable protein solutions, and Insta-Pro’s ExPress® soy, used to create Textured Soy Protein (TSP), is leading the charge. This innovative plant-based protein is improving the region’s food production landscape, offering unmatched versatility, quality, and market access.
ExPress® TSP is ideal for meat extension and replacement, meeting the growing demand for plant-based proteins. Whether it’s for cost-effective meat blends or fully vegan products, this combination delivers the texture, bite, and protein content consumers expect.
Solvent-extracted textured soy protein faces resistance in premium markets like Europe and Japan, where clean-label and non-solvent processing are preferred. ExPress® opens these doors, allowing producers to export confidently and competitively.
Insta-Pro equipment lines give processors complete control over the soy protein quality, which directly impacts the final TSP product. Consistency and control ensure your operation produces better texture, flavor, and nutritional value.
ExPress® soy also boosts TSP water absorption rates from 3 to nearly 5 times its weight, enhancing the mouthfeel of TSP products. Also, its high Protein Dispersibility Index (PDI) supports better, contributing to bite resistance, which is a critical quality parameter for meat analogs. Additionally, ExPress® TSP contains a higher fat content vs. its solvent counterparts, which provides an improved flavor profile that consumers have noted.
See the table below for a comparison between ExPress TSP vs. solvent-extracted textured soy protein:
As consumer demands evolve, many companies are poised to become global leaders in sustainable soy protein production. ExPress® TSP processors can meet domestic demand, tap into international markets, and deliver premium products, all while maintaining cost efficiency and operational flexibility.
