Research Summary
Plant protein-based food refers to food products that derive a significant portion of their protein content from plant sources rather than animal sources. These foods are part of the growing trend toward plant-based diets and are designed to provide alternative, sustainable protein options for individuals seeking to reduce their reliance on animal products. Common plant protein sources used in these foods include legumes (such as soybeans, lentils, and peas), grains (like quinoa and wheat), nuts, seeds, and vegetables. Food manufacturers employ various processing techniques, such as extraction, isolation, and texturization, to create plant-based protein ingredients that can mimic the taste, texture, and nutritional profile of traditional animal-based products. Plant protein-based foods encompass a wide range of products, including plant-based burgers, sausages, dairy alternatives, protein bars, and meat substitutes. These offerings cater to consumers looking for sustainable and ethical choices while still meeting their nutritional needs.
