Animal- and Plant-Based Protein Sources: A Scoping Review of Human Health Outcomes and Environmental Impact

Nutrients, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 14(23), P. 5115 - 5115

Published: Dec. 1, 2022

Dietary proteins are indispensable to human nutrition. In addition their tissue-building function, they affect body composition and regulate various metabolic pathways, as well satiety immune system activity. Protein use can be examined from a quantitative or qualitative viewpoint. this scoping review, we compare animal- plant-based protein sources in terms of effects on health the environment. We conclude that consumption vegetable is associated with better outcomes overall (namely, cardiovascular system) than animal-based product use. The healthier dovetail lower environmental impact, which must considered when designing an optimal diet. Indeed, planet cannot disjointed being. Future research will clarify mechanisms action underlying compared animal sources, fostering agronomic practices influencing public direction benefit both its inhabitants.

A Comprehensive Review of Pea (Pisum sativum L.): Chemical Composition, Processing, Health Benefits, and Food Applications

Foods, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 12(13), P. 2527 - 2527

Published: June 29, 2023

Pisum sativum L., commonly referred to as dry, green, or field pea, is one of the most common legumes that popular and economically important. Due its richness in a variety nutritional bioactive ingredients, consumption pea has been suggested be associated with wide range health benefits, there increasing focus on potential functional food. However, have limited literature reviews concerning compounds, health-promoting effects, applications up now. This review, therefore, summarizes from last ten years regarding chemical composition, physicochemical properties, processing, pea. Whole peas are rich macronutrients, including proteins, starches, dietary fiber, non-starch polysaccharides. In addition, polyphenols, especially flavonoids phenolic acids, important ingredients mainly distributed coats. Anti-nutritional factors, such phytic acid, lectin, trypsin inhibitors, may hinder nutrient absorption. seeds can processed by different techniques drying, milling, soaking, cooking improve their properties. properties starches proteins improved chemical, physical, enzymatic, combined modification methods. Owing multiple peas, products exhibit various antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-renal fibrosis, regulation metabolic syndrome effects. Peas into beverages, germinated products, flour-incorporated pea-based meat alternatives, encapsulation packing materials. Furthermore, recommendations also provided how better utilize promote development sustainable grain. Pea components further developed more valuable nutritious products.

Chia seed protein as a promising source for plant-based foods: Functional properties, processing methods and potential food applications

Applied Food Research, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 4(2), P. 100459 - 100459

Published: July 29, 2024

Plant-based foods have prevailed around the world, and various high-quality plant proteins been explored studied in recent years. Chia seeds received extensive attention for their rich nutrients, with up to 20 % protein content. Protein chia seed contains 18 essential non-essential amino acids, which can be considered as an alternative source individuals who are vegans allergic soy or gluten. This review provides overview of functional properties its fractions, focusing on solubility, water oil absorption capacity, holding emulsifying, foaming well gelling properties. The chemical methods processing using acidic alkaline solutions, including purification fractionation, also discussed. few literature studies application protein, flour used food production were exclusively investigated. Furthermore, current challenges future opportunities related economy, environment, ethics render it potential become a main ingredient plant-based thoroughly analysed.

The Association Between Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet and Depression and Anxiety Symptoms in University Students: The Mediating Role of Lean Mass and the Muscle Strength Index

Nutrients, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(2), P. 346 - 346

Published: Jan. 18, 2025

Background/objectives: recent studies have suggested that components typical of the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) are associated with depression and anxiety prevention. In this sense, main objective study was to analyse associations between adherence MedDiet symptoms examine whether relationship is mediated by lean mass muscle strength index (MSI). Methods: a cross-sectional (based on data obtained from Nuts4Brain-Z study) conducted 2023–2024, involving 428 university students, aged 18–30 years, Spanish public university. Depression assessed using Beck Inventory (BDI-II), via General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) tool. Adherence MEDAS questionnaire. Lean bioimpedance, MSI measured dynamometer. ANCOVA models were used test mean differences in scores categories (low < 9 points vs high ≥ points). Serial multiple mediation models, adjusted for confounders, explore role relationships symptoms. Results: students exhibited lower (p 0.05) than did low MedDiet. The analysis preliminarily revealed both acted as mediators anxiety. Conclusion:adherence per se does not appear direct effect because these partially (for depression) or entirely anxiety) explained MSI.

Is there any relationship between plant nutrition and human health? The overall response to this question is very positive, a strong the of plants humans has been reported in literature. nutritional status edible consumed by can have negative or positive impact on health. This review was designed assess importance bioactive compounds for health under umbrella sustainable agriculture. With respect first research question, it found that bioactives (e.g., alkaloids, carotenoids, flavonoids, phenolics, terpenoids) crucial role due their therapeutic benefits, potentiality depends several factors, including botanical, environmental, clinical attributes. Plant could be produced using tissue culture tools (as kind agro-biotechnological method), especially cases underexploited endangered plants. Bioactive production many climate change (heat stress, drought, UV radiation, ozone, elevated CO2), environmental pollution, problematic soils (degraded, saline/alkaline, waterlogged, etc.). Under previously mentioned stresses, reviewing literature, association depending kinds stress observed correlation (or growth factors) might explain these Their accumulation stressed increase tolerance roles. results study are keeping with previous observational studies, which confirmed start from contents, humans. report analyzes pictorial presentation.

There are several types of plant-based diets, with unknown differences across diets on total/plant protein intake and variety plant sources consumed. This systematic review compares total intake, proportion proteins main plant-protein consumed four primarily diets: vegan, vegetarian, pesco-vegetarian semi-vegetarian. We included observational studies reporting and/or in generally healthy adults that were published between 2002 2023. determined (i) % energy from protein, (ii) the relative to (iii) (median contribution each source intake; interquartile range) diets. The broadly classified into United States Department Agriculture (USDA) food-groups: "grains", "nuts seeds", "soy-products" "beans, peas, lentils". 13 intake/sources conducted US, Europe, South Korea. Of these, 7 reported 11 semi-vegetarian ranging 10–17.4%. Vegan had highest (ranging 77–98%) lowest 37–83%). Plant was grains 60–78%). Nuts seeds most vegetarian (7.9%;2.9–10.3%) least (3.7%;2–14.8%). Soy products, beans, lentils vegan (17.3%;16.3–19.9 19.6%;14.6–21.3, respectively) (3.7%;1.3–13.9 8.5%;5.2–10.2) a sources, while mainly relied as source.
