Tuning plant protein functionality: from extraction to application
Which plant proteins are suitable for mass production, in taste, functionality and profitability? This question is critical, as the world population is expected to grow above 9 billion people in 2050 and the demand for high nutritional foods and proteins will increase. Common issues with commercial plant proteins are their low solubility and off-taste. NIZO studied these issues and created new opportunities with green pea proteins.
