Unveiling the Potential of Leaf Proteins
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Protein deficiency is one of the major nutritional problems in the developing world. Increasing population in both emerging and developed markets want inexpensive, sustainable, and nutritional protein. Health attributes with a particular focus on increased consumption of plant-based proteins are estimated at USD 14.3 billion in 2024 and projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% by 2029. Therefore, aims to identify “new” and reasonably priced sources of plant protein from green leaf biomass. The main protein in green leaves is Rubisco (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase), which is the most abundant protein in nature. It has good amino acid profile, ranking better than other plant proteins (Anon, 2024; Balfany et al., 2023; Ghaly and Alkoaik, 2010; Andersson and Backlund, 2008).
