Proteins serve as an important nutritional as well as structural
component of foods. Not only do they provide an array of amino acids
necessary for maintaining human health but also act as thickening,
stabilizing, emulsifying, foaming, gelling, and binding agents. The
ability of a protein to possess and demonstrate such unique functional
properties depends largely on its inherent structure, configuration,
and how they interact with other food constituents, like,
polysaccharides, lipids, and polyphenolic compounds. Proteins from
animal sources have superior functionality, higher digestibility, and
lower anti-nutrient components than plant proteins. However, consumer
preferences are evolving worldwide for ethically and sustainably
sourced, clean, cruelty-free, vegan or vegetarian plant-based food
products. Unlike proteins from animal sources, plant proteins are more
versatile, religiously, and culturally acceptable among vegetarian and
vegan consumers and associated with lower food processing waste,
water, and soil requirement. Thus, the processing and utilization of
plant proteins have gained worldwide attention and as such numerous
scientific studies are focusing on enhancing the utilization of plant
proteins in food and pharmaceutical products through various
processing and modification techniques to improve their
techno-functional properties, bioactivity, bioavailability, and
digestibility. Novel Plant Protein Processing: Developing the Foods of
the Future presents a roadmap for plant protein science, and
technology which will focus on plant protein ingredient development,
plant protein modification, and the creation of plant protein-based
novel foods. Key Features: Includes complete information about novel
plant protein processing for use as future foods Presents a roadmap to
upscale the meat analog technological processes Discusses marketing
limitations of plant based proteins and future opportunities This book
highlights the important scientific, technological advancements that
are being deployed in the future foods using plant proteins, concerns,
opportunities, and challenges, and, as an alternative to maintaining a
healthy and sustainable modern food supply. It covers the most recent
research related to the plant protein-based future foods which include
their extraction, isolation, modification, characterization,
development, and final applications. It also covers the formulation
and challenges: emphasis on the modification for a specific use, legal
aspects, business perspective, and future challenges. This book is
useful for researchers, readers, scientists, and industrial people to
find information easily.
