Abstract
Recently, plant proteins have received notable attention as food and medicine. Further, plant proteins are used to produce and isolate peptides to treat and prevent diseases in humans and animals. Plant proteins can be extracted from various sources, including industrial waste materials. Conventional and nonconventional methods are used to carry out the protein extraction. This review aims to overview the advanced protein extraction methods and the therapeutic functionalities of plant proteins and peptides. It observed that the advanced protein extraction methods, i.e., ultrasound-assisted and microwave-assisted, are more efficient, eco-friendly, and less energy-consuming. The advanced protein extraction methods will help to face the challenges of using protein in food processing. In addition to the food functionality, plant-based proteins and peptides show potential therapeutic activity. It includes antidiabetic activity, anticancer activity, and anti-inflammatory activity. The pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries will likely rely heavily on plant-derived peptides because of their benefits as functional ingredients.
