Protein plays a critical role in human nutrition. Although
animal-derived proteins constitute the majority of the protein we
consume, plant-derived proteins can satisfy the same requirement
with less environmental impact. Sustainable Protein Sources allows
readers to understand how alternative proteins such as plant,
fungal, algal, and insect protein can take the place of more costly
and less efficient animal-based sources. Sustainable Protein
Sources presents the various benefits of plant and alternative
protein consumption, including those that benefit the environment,
population, and consumer trends. The book presents
chapter-by-chapter coverage of protein from various sources,
including cereals and legumes, oilseeds, pseudocereals, fungi,
algae, and insects. It assesses the nutrition, uses, functions,
benefits, and challenges of each of these proteins. The book also
explores opportunities to improve utilization and addresses
everything from ways in which to increase consumer acceptability,
to methods of improving the taste of products containing these
proteins, to the ways in which policies can affect the use of
plant-derived proteins. In addition, the book delves into food
security and political issues which affect the type of crops that
are cultivated and the sources of food proteins. The book concludes
with required consumer choices such as dietary changes and future
research ideas that necessitate vigorous debate for a sustainable
planet.
