Plant-Based Proteins Processing

Plant-Based Proteins Processing: Emerging Trends and Applications is a comprehensive guide focusing on the extraction, modification, applications, and marketing of plant-based proteins. It explores sources, nutritional properties, and both conventional and novel extraction techniques. Modification methods such as thermal, non-thermal, biological, and chemical are detailed. The book consists of five sections, beginning with an overview of plant proteins and their digestibility, bioavailability, and nutritional properties. Each section provides valuable insights for students, researchers, professionals, and food manufacturers involved in plant-based protein production. The book also delves into food byproducts as sources of protein, discusses challenges, and highlights future opportunities for plant-based proteins.

Section C focuses on the effects of various modification methods on plant proteins, while Section D and E cover practical applications and market prospects respectively. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the growing field of plant-based proteins.
