Dietary proteins are important for body functions including growth and development, maintenance of muscle strength, bone and skeletal health, offset of both chronic/inflammatory as well as acute diseases etc. The amino acid composition, digestibility, uptake and transport determine the utilisation of these proteins and specifically the available amino acids, the precursors of many import (hormonal) regulators in the body. Development of optimal protein/amino acids based products can both provide in bulk proteins (e.g. replacing meat based proteins) as well as supplements with specific health benefit.
