Canavalin crystals grown on Earth (right) and in microgravity. [1]Canavalin is a plant protein found in the jack bean, sword bean, and related plants.It is the major storage protein found in these plants' seeds, and is one of four proteins readily isolated from the seeds; the others are concanavalin A, concanavalin B, and urease.

Soy protein is a protein that is isolated from soybean. It is made from soybean meal that has been dehulled and defatted. Dehulled and defatted soybeans are processed into three kinds of high protein commercial products: soy flour, concentrates, and isolates. Soy protein isolate has been used since 1959 in foods for its functional properties.
Protein methods are the techniques used to study proteins.There are experimental methods for studying proteins (e.g., for detecting proteins, for isolating and purifying proteins, and for characterizing the structure and function of proteins, [1] often requiring that the protein first be purified).
Beans and legumes are the healthiest source of protein, advisory committee member Christopher Gardner, PhD, a research professor of medicine at the Stanford Prevention Research Center, told CNN ...
Soybean meal, or soymeal, is the material remaining after solvent extraction of oil from soybean flakes, with a 50% soy protein content. The meal is 'toasted' (a misnomer because the heat treatment is with moist steam) and ground in a hammer mill .
The Protein Dispersibility Index (PDI) is a means of comparing the solubility of a protein in water, and is widely used in the soybean product industry.. A sample of the soybeans are ground, mixed with a specific quantity of water, and the two are then blended together at a specific rpm for a specific time.
Textured or texturized vegetable protein (TVP), also known as textured soy protein (TSP), soy meat, or soya chunks, is a defatted soy flour product, a by-product of extracting soybean oil. It is often used as a meat analogue or meat extender. It is quick to cook, with a protein content comparable to some meats.
Substituting ground flaxseed, chia seed, tofu, mung bean, garbanzo beans, mashed bananas, or applesauce in recipes such as casseroles and muffins are an option as well as using silken tofu for a ...
