Comprehensive Review of Plant Protein Digestibility: Challenges, Assessment Methods, and Improvement Strategies

Comprehensive Review of Plant Protein Digestibility: Challenges, Assessment Methods, and Improvement Strategies

Plant-based proteins are increasingly recognized for their environmental, ethical, and nutritional benefits. However, their digestibility varies due to factors such as molecular structure, amino acid composition, and processing methods. This review comprehensively analyzes methods used to assess pla...
