PrevProteins are long chain-like molecules that are made up of small units known as amino acids, joined together by peptide bonds. Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, are compounds made up of core chemical elements which are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Proteins are a major nutrient in the body, and without it, an organism will cease to exist.NextProteins grow, maintain, and replace the tissues in our bodies. Therefore, our muscles, organs, and immune systems are mostly made of protein. Did you know that the word protein is derived from the Greek word ‘proteios’ which means “primary” or “in the lead”?

Proteins were first described by the Dutch chemist Gerardus Johannes Mulder and named by the Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius in 1838. Protein rich meals eliminate fatigue from the human body. Soybeans, or Soya, is a remarkable source of protein. Eating soy in any of its forms or derivatives enhances body cells and organs.
