It was found that the fat content of soy bread samples were more than
that of control bread sample and the fat content increased with the
increasing level of soy flour. This is in agreement with the results of
the other studies The fat content of the GF bread changed from 3.3% to 4.1%
with increase in soybean flour from 0% to 15% (Table 1). This is due
to the fact that the fat content of soy flour is higher in comparison to
corn flour Soybean is an edible oil source with about 20%–24% fat content
Like other vegetable, it is rich in unsaturated fat
(61% polyunsaturated fat and 24% monounsaturated fat). Also, soybean
is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic and linolenic
acid, which are necessary for human health (Hegstad, 2008).
