“…These amino acids are essential for ruminants and monogastric animals. However, soybeans also contain anti-nutritional factors, such as lectins, hemagglutinins, isoflavones, phytic acid, trypsin, and protease inhibitors, and this must be addressed to increase their nutritional value for the industry [ 29 ]. Soybean anti-nutritional factors can have significant implications for the nutritional value and utilization of soybeans.…”

“…Soybean possessing high levels of protease inhibitors, particularly trypsin inhibitors, can negatively affect protein digestibility and amino acid availability. While heat processing can inactivate these protease inhibitors, excessive heat can also destroy other proteins, nutrients, and essential amino acids [ 29 ]. In this context, the identification of key proteins from these anti-nutritional families and the use of biotechnological tools to develop cultivars with lower contents of anti-nutritional factors are desired, as these would allow for better and more efficient use of the protein intake in the diet, making them promising approaches for the industry.…”

Soybean is a rich source of vegetal protein for both animal and human consumption. Despite the high levels of protein in soybean seeds, industrial processing to obtain soybean bran significantly decreases the final protein content of the byproducts. To overcome this problem, cultivars with higher protein contents must be developed. However, selecting the target proteins is difficult because of the lack of information on the proteome profile of soybean bran. Therefore, this study obtained the comparative proteomic profiles of both natural coatless seeds and defatted bran from an elite tropical-soybean cultivar. Thus, their extracts were characterized using LC–MS/MS and a total of 550 proteins were identified. Among these, 526 proteins were detected in coatless seeds and 319 proteins in defatted bran. Moreover, a total of 139 proteins were identified as presenting different levels of content in coatless seeds and defatted bran. Among them, only 46 were retained after the seed processing. These proteins were clustered in several important metabolic pathways, such as amino-acid biosynthesis, sugar biosynthesis, and antioxidant activity, meaning that they could act as targets for bioactive products or genome editing to improve protein quality and quantity in soybean grains. These findings can enhance our understanding regarding protein robustness for both soybean crops and the commercial bran improvement because target proteins must remain intact after processing and must be bioactive when overexpressed. Overall, the soybean bran proteomic profile was explored for the first time, providing a valuable catalogue of target proteins that can tolerate the industrial process.

“…With high crude protein (44% to 48%) and energy (swine, net energy: 2,233 kcal/kg; poultry, apparent metabolizable energy: 2,473 kcal/kg), soybean meal serves as an affordable, high-quality protein source in animal feeds ( Nahashon and Kilonzo-Nthenge, 2011 ; Lee et al, 2022 ; Stein, 2023 ). According to the United Soybean Board (2021) , 78% of the total soybean meal produced was fed to poultry and swine (equivalent to 26.8 million metric tons).…”

Due to its importance in animal feed, soybean meal has been extensively studied to optimize its use in livestock diets. Despite extensive research, the industry has not fully characterized specific areas of soybean processing such as the inclusion of soybean by-products added back to soybean meal during processing. Soybean processing by-products can encompass a large variety of materials including weeds and foreign material, soybean hulls, gums, soapstocks, lecithins, spent bleaching clays, and deodorizer distillates. Despite the potential for being added back to soybean meal when a crushing plant is integrated with an oil refinery, there is currently limited information on the composition of many of these soybean processing by-products and their subsequent effects on soybean meal quality and animal performance. Therefore, there may be opportunities for a new area of research focused on soybean processing by-products and their optimal use within the livestock feed industry. This review summarizes the current information on soybean by-products with a focus on identifying the areas with the greatest potential for future research in swine and poultry nutrition.

“…These by-products can include soybean hulls (SH) and soy protein isolate (SPI), among others [6,19]. Soybean by-products are often used in animal feed and in the production of biodiesel, industrial chemicals, and bioplastics [19][20][21]. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in finding novel ways to use soybean by-products, particularly in the development of sustainable materials and products [22].…”

A Performance Study on 3D-Printed Bioplastic Pots from Soybean By-Products

et al. 2023

Sustainability is a key factor in the development of new materials for plant pots, given the significant environmental impact of traditional plastic-based pots. Researchers have paid attention to developing biodegradable and sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based pots. In this study, two novel bioplastic formulations are developed, which incorporated soy-based by-product fractions to produce plant pots with self-fertilizing capability while also being cost-competitive. A 3D-printing process, fused filament fabrication, is used to produce plant containers from the filaments of soy-based new materials. Further, a small-scale greenhouse experiment is conducted to compare the performance of the soy-based 3D-printed bioplastic pots with pure polylactic acid (PLA) 3D-printed pots and traditional plastic pots, by growing a fruit-bearing plant (tomato) and a flowering plant (zinnia). Plant growth properties and root circling are analyzed, and the results show that the soy-based pots performed comparably to traditional plastic pots, especially in dry conditions, and also reduced root circling. While a more in-depth analysis is necessary, these initial findings suggest that using soy-based fractions and 3D-printing technology could provide a sustainable approach to developing plant pots, which could reduce the environmental impact of plastic-based containers and improve plant health.
