Processing of soybeans to other products and consumption of soy products is increasing worldwide mainly due to acclaimed health benefits. Processing can alter soybean sensory appeal, nutritive value and potentially affect consumer health. Rhizopus oligosporus was used to ferment soybean for 3 days. The tempeh flour (TF) was produced form tempeh while defatted tempeh flour (DTF) was then produced from TF by immersing in hexane solvent while soy protein isolate (SPI) was prepared from DTF by using alkali and acid followed by neutralization treatment. In this study, nutritional properties and amino acid content of tempeh,TF, DTF and SPI were determined. Therefore, the objective of this study is was to evaluate the effect of each treatment on the chemical composition and amino acid content for all the samples. The results showed that the nutritional properties (total ash, moisture, crude fat, total carbohydrate and crude fibre) were reduced significantly (p < 0.05) except for protein content. Protein content was significantly (p < 0.05) increased by 50.5% in SPI. For amino acid content, the results obtained showed that SPI contain highest amount of essential and non-essential amino acid followed by DTF, Tempeh and TF. Glutamic acid was found to be the highest amino acid component in all samples. The evaluation from the results showed that SPI can be considered as potential functional food ingredients.
