Soybean protein isolate versus sheep whey protein: A detailed comparison of their chemical composition, gastrointestinal digestion and fermentation properties
Plant proteins are emerging as alternatives to animal proteins. This study compared the physicochemical properties and nutritional characteristics of soybean protein isolate (SPI) and sheep whey protein (SWP), which is gaining recognition for its nutritional benefits. SWP exhibited higher amino acid content, larger particle size, increased turbidity, and superior foaming and emulsification capacities compared to SPI (p < 0.05). In contrast, SPI demonstrated better emulsification stability. In vitro, gastrointestinal digestion showed that SPI achieved a higher degree of hydrolysis in both gastric and intestinal phases, although SWP had a faster initial hydrolysis rate. During gut microbiota fermentation, SWP produced significantly higher levels of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) than SPI (p < 0.05). Non-targeted metabolomics revealed distinct metabolic differences, particularly in amino acid metabolism, bile acid synthesis, and hormone biosynthesis. These findings suggest SWP is suitable for nutritional supplementation, while SPI is better for dairy-based alternatives.
