A comprehensive review on protein isolates supplementation
Keywords:
Protein isolates, Malnutrition, SupplementationAbstract
Protein isolate supplementation has emerged as a critical strategy in enhancing the nutritional quality of various food products, including whole grains, complementary foods, and pastries. These efforts are driven by the need to combat protein-energy malnutrition (PEM), particularly in developing countries such as Nigeria where the prevalence remains high. Recent innovations have expanded beyond conventional protein sources to include protein isolates derived from unconventional animal sources such as insects, termites, and periwinkles. These alternative sources offer promising nutritional and functional benefits, making them viable options for food fortification. Raising awareness among health professionals, nutritionists, and food scientists about the potentials of protein isolate supplementation is essential for improving dietary intake and reducing malnutrition rates. This seminar explores the prevalence and impact of PEM, particularly among children, discusses the nutritional benefits of protein isolates, and compares findings from multiple studies, including the effects of quinoa flour and rice protein isolate on the functional properties and protein content of gluten-free bread.
