What is the difference between plant protein and animal protein

Animal protein is rich in more comprehensive amino acids and is more easily absorbed by the body. However, the amino acids of plant protein are not comprehensive, and it also contains antinutrients such as lectin and phytic acid, which is relatively less absorbable than animal protein.

Proteins include both plant-based and animal-based proteins. Plants such as beans, wheat (flour) and rice generally contain more vegetable proteins (such as:

The proportion of protein contained in soybean seeds is as high as about 40%), and the protein contained in various meats, dairy products, and poultry eggs is generally animal protein. (e.g. lean meat, milk, etc.).

So in the face of the two best proteins, which protein is better to supplement? After research, people have found that on the question of which protein to supplement, it is generally believed that the intake of plant protein and animal protein should be basically the same, half of each.

In general, plant protein is more abundant than animal protein, and the daily intake is large. And in the processing process, the cost and process are relatively easy and inexpensive. However, after all, plant protein is the protein in plants, and the types and relative quantities of its protein have a certain gap with the requirements of the human body.

For example, there is a lack of immunoglobulins in plant proteins, and there is a relative lack of lysine in cereals. Moreover, the absorption of plant protein is relatively more difficult than that of animal protein, and plant protein is difficult to digest because it is surrounded by a fibrous film on the periphery.

Animal protein, on the other hand, is derived from the animal itself, and the type and structure of its protein are closer to the structure and quantity of tissue proteins in the human body. For example, human protein is composed of a variety of amino acids, among which, the human body can synthesize amino acids through its own biochemical reactions, called "non-essential amino acids" and amino acids that the human body cannot synthesize, must rely on food to provide, called "essential amino acids" Animal protein generally contains essential amino acids, especially egg products and dairy products, so its nutritional value is slightly higher than that of vegetable protein.

Therefore, as opposed to plant-based proteins. Animal protein is beneficial to people of all ages, and it is an indispensable substance for the growth and development of adolescents and the enhancement of physical fitness; For middle-aged people, protein can enhance the memory of mental workers and enhance the endurance of manual workers; For the elderly, supplementing with high-quality protein can delay aging and prevent the occurrence of a variety of geriatric diseases.

However, because the protein in meat is often mixed with a certain amount of fat, it is not scientific to use a large amount of meat as the main animal protein.

Vegetable protein is foods such as beans and is cholesterol-free; Animal protein is meat and other foods that are high in cholesterol!

Animal protein** is closer to the type and structure of animal protein than human tissue protein. Therefore, its nutritional value is slightly higher than that of vegetable protein.

Generally speaking, there is no essential difference between plant protein and animal protein, but there are certain differences in amino acid composition and quantity.

After all, plant protein is the protein in plants, and the type and relative quantity of its protein have a certain gap with the requirements of the human body. For example, there is a lack of immunoglobulins in plant proteins, and lysine is relatively lacking in cereals.

Moreover, the absorption of plant protein is relatively more difficult than that of animal protein, and plant protein is difficult to digest because it is surrounded by a fibrous membrane on the periphery.

Animal protein is relatively compatible with the nutritional structure of humans, and because it comes from the animal itself, the type and structure of its protein are closer to the protein structure and quantity of the human body. For example, human protein is composed of 20 kinds of amino acids, of which 12 amino acids can be synthesized by the human body through its own biochemical reactions, called "non-essential amino acids".

There are also 8 kinds of amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be provided by food, which are called "essential amino acids". Animal protein generally contains 8 kinds of amino acids necessary for the human body, especially egg products and dairy products, so its nutritional value is slightly higher than that of vegetable protein.

Vegetable protein is mainly the first protein in rice noodles and beans, but the nutritional value of rice noodles and beans is different. Rice and flour** proteins lack lysine (an essential amino acid), so they have a low amino acid score, but this type of protein is less absorbed and utilized by the body.

Protein in plant-based foods. Such as cereals, beans, nuts and other commonly eaten food proteins, leaf proteins, single-cell proteins, etc. Nutritionally, plant proteins can be broadly divided into two categories:

One is complete protein, such as soy protein; The second is incomplete protein, and the vast majority of plant protein belongs to this category. Vegetable protein is the main protein in the vegetarian diet**, which can be used to make imitation meat products similar to the corresponding animal food in terms of shape, taste and texture. Vegetarians who specialize in incomplete protein can develop nutrient deficiencies and must also consume soy protein.

Soybeans are the richest source of plant-based protein. Soybean protein meat is made of high-quality soybeans as raw materials, through heating, extrusion, noise and other processes to make soybean protein powder into lean meat flakes of different sizes and shapes, the reason why it is called "protein meat" is because its protein content is much higher than that of general animal meat, and the taste, structure, color, toughness are similar to animal meat. According to the determination of its protein content for pigs, beef lean protein 2-3 times, by the health department identification, non-toxic and harmless, is a green, safe, health food.

Because of its low fat, it is an ideal food for people with high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, and diabetes.

1. From the division of protein, animal protein EAA content is high, and plant protein NEAA content is high. 2. The effect of a diet based on plant protein on increasing glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in healthy people was lower than that of animal protein, indicating that the effect of plant protein in increasing GFR was lower than that of animal protein. This may be related to the content of glycine, alanine, arginine, and proline in animal protein, as these amino acids have the effect of increasing GFR and glomerular blood flow.

Animal protein refers to poultry and poultry food, which is one of the important foods for human beings because of its rich nutrition, delicious taste and wide consumption. Studies have proved that in people who eat cereals, there is a tendency to not easily absorb animal protein, such as eggs, nearly half of the protein can not be absorbed and utilized by the human body. Animal protein contains a lot of fat, which is easy to cause obesity and increase the source of disease to people.

Animal experiments have shown that animals that eat animal protein develop and grow quickly, but have a short lifespan. Whereas, animals that eat plant protein have slow development but have a long lifespan and good endurance. If an appropriate proportion of soybean selenoprotein is added to milk, it can give full play to the complementary role of protein, so that the human body can obtain a balanced and appropriate amount of amino acids, and greatly improve the nutritional and physiological value of milk.

<>1. Animal protein is mainly protein provided by animals, such as meat, eggs, milk, etc., and vegetable protein is protein provided by plants, such as soybeans.

2. Human protein is composed of 20 kinds of amino acids, 12 of which are called non-essential amino acids that the human body can synthesize through its own biochemical reactions, and there are 8 kinds of amino acids that the human body cannot synthesize, and must rely on food to provide, called essential amino acids of tomascus, and animal protein generally contains 8 kinds of amino acids necessary for the human body, especially Mengcha egg products and dairy products.

3. The content of essential amino acids in plant protein is very small. In particular, the lack of lysine, an essential amino acid, results in a lower amino acid score, and the protein is less absorbed and utilized by the body. Among the many plant-based proteins, the most nutritious is legume protein (also known as soy protein).
