Abstract
Soybean fiber (SPF) is a protein based botanic fibre. These fibers exhibit very good physicalproperties such as brightness, softness and drape. Moreover, SPF has a variety of health functionalities andanti-bacterial properties. Fibers were first produced in the 20th mid-century. However due to the significantchallenges encountered during the production of SPF, interest for these fibers was decreased. At the end ofthe 20 th century, SPF re-captured attention due to an increased awakening on ecological, renewable andsustainable fiber concept. Soybean is cheap and abundant. Tenacity of SPF was improved by includingpolyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Therefore, the production and the usage of SPF are increasing rapidly because ofthese key advantages. Soybean fibers usually is used in blends with other fibers. In Turkey, a variety ofdifferent products are produced from this special fiber. This review, about SPF, is divided into two sections.In the first part; structure and production stages of SPF and its enviromental effects have been described.In the second part of this review, properties and application areas of SPF have been described. The purposeof this review is to fill a gap in the Turkish literature about this bio-degradable, renewable and sustainableSPF.
