The Claim
The in vitro protein digestibility of soy sausage is 80.8%, which is significantly lower than the in vitro protein digestibility of pork sausage (87.1%), wheat sausage (88.0%), and wheat-soy sausage (89.0%), indicating reduced protein bioavailability under simulated gastrointestinal conditions.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Soy sausage breaks down less during simulated digestion in lab tests compared to pork, wheat, and wheat-soy sausages, resulting in lower protein availability.
See the scientific wording
The in vitro protein digestibility of soy sausage (80.8%) was significantly lower than that of pork sausage (87.1%), wheat sausage (88.0%), and wheat-soy sausage (89.0%), indicating that soy-based formulations may have reduced protein bioavailability under simulated gastrointestinal conditions.
Soy protein is harder for digestive enzymes to break down because it is tightly folded and bound to compounds that block the enzymes, so less protein gets broken into amino acids that the body can absorb.
What the research says
1 studyIn a lab test that mimics human digestion, soy sausage released less usable protein than pork or wheat sausages, meaning your body might not absorb as much protein from it.
