Soy flour, its defatted form and except for its fiber content, has more resemblance in physical and chemical properties to nonfat dry milk solids, and more properly might be called "defatted soy solids," or "soy powder," or "soy pulverate;" however, the defatted soy flour has nearly 20% more protein than the nonfat milk solids .
