Edamame soybean protein concentrate as a source of amino acid nutrition for poultry

Abstract

This study aims to determine the opportunity and characteristics of edamame soybean protein concentrate (eSPC) as a source of amino acid. In this study, edamame soybean protein concentrate (eSPC) was manufactured using various methods of manufacturing solvent-based materials. This experiment consisted of two different methods, namely washing with acid and ethanol solvent. The results of manufacturing eSPC were analyzed for nutrients, especially the protein and amino acids contents. From the presentation and description of data, the best results of edamame soybean processing into protein concentrate (eSPC) was obtained in the acid method with a protein content of 48.83% and a total of 36.66% amino acids. The highest content of lysine was obtained at eSPC processing using 3.77% of acid, while methionine highest was with approximately 1.12%. These results showed that the eSPC is well used as a source of lysine and methionine in poultry feed.
