Funded Activity Summary

Development and nutritional evaluation of novel foods based on a unique combination of soy and dairy products. This exciting project will enable us to incorporate two competing food industries (dairy and soy) to develop innovative foods combining soy and low-fat dairy which will provide increased palatability as well as nutrition. This project is a new collaboration between So Natural Foods and the Universities of Wollongong, South Australia and Western Australia. The aims are 1) develop new foods combining soy and low-fat dairy; 2) test the bioavailability of the soy isoflavones (particularly equol production) from these foods; 3) determine the active component(s) in soy (soy protein and/or soy isoflavones) responsible for cholesterol reduction and other health benefits of soy; 4) evaluate consumer acceptability and market potential of the novel soy foods. We expect to demonstrate that healthier and more appealing food products can be produced by combining two currently competing foods, namely soy and dairy.
