Soybean Products Gaining
Popularity in Marketplace
Soy proteins have come of age
in the United States so much
so, in fact, that given certain
assumptions they could replace
as many as 8 per cent of the
animals we’d otherwise need to
meet our red meat needs by 1980.
However, the USDA’s
Agriculture Statistical Reporting
Service says that even with such
replacement, we’ll still have to
have about 10 per cent more red
meat than at present to supply
our 1980 requirements
Soybean proteins are
penetrating the meat market in
two ways
—As analogs which resemble
specific meats m color, taste, and
texture; and
—As substitutes for meat m
processed items (pattiesT chili,
casserole-type dishes, et cetera).
Analogs are already on the
market in a number of forms,
including bacon-like bits and
slices, ham, beef, seafoods, and
chicken. However, with the ex
ception of the bacon, most
analogs have had only limited
distribution and can claim but a
miniscule share of the red meat
market. Their share is expected
to remain relatively small even
by 1980.
It’s the meat-type extenders
that have the greatest growth
potential this decade. Resear
chers in the Economic Research
Service figure that by 1980 these
products could, under certain
conditions, displace 10 to 20 per
cent of the meat in meat-type
food preparations in both the
insitiutional as well as the retail
food market.
A look at costs tell why.
Soy flour and grits are the
simplest forms of soy proteins
currently being made. Their
crude protein content ranges
from 40 to 55 per cent and the
price per pound of net utilizable
proteins runs from sVia to lIV2
cents
Soy concentrates, made by
further processing the meal, are
60 to 70 per cent crude protein
Their prices are a bit higher than
the grits and flour because of the
extra processing and the lower
yields of finished product The

range is anywhere from 18 to 25
cents a pound.
Soy isolates (even more highly
processed and containing 90 to 97
per cent crude protein) have
prices in the 35-to-40-cent range
while textured soy proteins that
are extruded and spun to look like
real meats cost upwards of 50
cents per pound of net utihzable
protein
Compare those soy protein
costs with the ones for a few other
foods and you’ll easily see why
institutional feeders such as
schools and hospitals are using
them more frequently
Some examples; beef - $3.26
per pound of net usable protein,
chicken - $2.47, fish - $3.07, whey
(dry) - $0.84, milk - $2.34, skim
milk (dry) - $0.79, eggs - $2.09,
dry beans - $0.65, wheat - $0.41,
cottonseed flour - $0.58, rice -
$1.71.
Add to these cost advantages
the functional pluses of soy
proteins—water and fat reten
tion, improvement in keeping
quality, and browning effects—
and soy proteins appear to have a
bright future.
Restaurants, too, may well step
up their use of soy protein ex
tenders if animal proteins con
tinue to get more expensive.
Food served in restarurants is
not subject to the same labeling
and identification requirements
as food sold directly to con
sumers—which means the away
from-home eating market is
more susceptible to penetration
by substitutes. And it’s quite a
market—worth $35 billion in 1969
and growing rapidly.
If standards of identity and
labeling are modified over time,
soy extenders may also find their
way into more products sold at
retail—especially ground meat
items like sausage, hamburger,
luncheon meat, and hot dogs as
well as certain types of frozen
dinners and canned products.
The lower cost of vegetable
proteins—added to consumer
concern over the use of animal
fats in the diet—has already
helped win consumers over to the
concept of soy products much
faster than food experts dreamed
possible.
Soy analogs, of course, still
face considerable resistance.
While they’re approaching the
flavor and texture of the meats
they imitate and are priced
comparably with natural meat on
a cooked basis, on an uncooked
basis in the store they seem high
priced to consumers.
In addition, the high prestige of
steaks, roasts, and other meat
cuts makes it difficult for sub
stitutes to gain acceptance.

About 9 cents of each dollar, or
some $8.6 billion out of the $101.6
billion spent by food shoppers last
year, is spent on packaging. In
