Soybean hemicellulose

Soybean hemicellulose is notable for FODMAPs, oligosaccharides and nickel. Clear on lactose, histamine, gluten, fructose, sorbitol, sucrose, tyramine, salicylate and oxalates.

Soybean hemicellulose contains moderate levels of FODMAPs. Soybean hemicellulose is fibre from the soy hull, and soy carries the raffinose-family sugars that make up this axis. Extraction keeps the fibre and much of what ferments with it, though the amount used as a stabiliser is small. The dependence on serving size comes from Gibson and Shepherd, who built this approach: what these carbohydrates do is deliver fermentable substrate and water to the end of the small intestine, so the quantity decides the distension. Their trial also found that restricting them GLOBALLY works where restricting them one at a time does not.

Soybean hemicellulose contains only low levels of oligosaccharides. Soybean hemicellulose is a cell-wall polysaccharide recovered from the okara left after soy milk is made. It is a long branched chain rather than a short one, and it is used in small quantities to stop drinks separating.

Soybean hemicellulose contains only low levels of nickel. Soybean hemicellulose is fibre extracted from the soy hull, and soya is a high-nickel bean. The hull is the part that touched the soil, but extraction and purification leave very little of the metal behind. Amounts vary by brand and recipe, so always check the label of the exact product.
