Scientific Report: Study of national plant proteins with potential for application in plant-based products

Abstract

Study of national plant proteins with potential for application in plant-based products This report presents 18 plant sources grown in Brazil: rice, potatoes, three cultivars of beans (black, cowpea and mung), chickpeas, peanut, sesame seed, corn, cassava, wheat, barley, oat, rye, canola, lentil, sorghum and sunflower. A search of the scientific literature was carried out in different databases-including Scopus, Science Direct and Web of Science-in order to collect data regarding the extraction methods, composition, functional properties, allergenicity, nutritional value and sensory characteristics of these 18 plant sources. The production, import and export data presented in this report were obtained from official national sources, such as the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), Brazilian National Supply Company (CONAB), Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC), Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (MAPA) and associations of pre-processing of the different raw materials. Data collection Oats * Information not found 1 Corresponds to the amount of protein (g/100g) present in the plant source.
