Importance of soya bean and potential in Tanzania
Soya bean is an important crop due to its nutritional value and its wide utilization at household as well as industrial level. It contains 20% noncholesterol oil and 45% protein compared to 20 and 13% protein content in meat and egg, respectively. Soya bean-fortified products are considerably cheaper than other sources of high quality protein, such as fish, meat, milk and other protein-rich legumes. The cost of protein, when purchased as soya bean, is only about 10-20% of the cost of protein from fish, meat, eggs or milk.
Therefore, soya bean is suitable to areas where other protein sources are unavailable or too expensive. Essential amino acids in soya bean are isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine and cystine, phenylalanine and tyrosine, threonine, tryptophan and valine. The defatted soya bean cake
