Europe Protein Ingredients Market Outlook 2027

A Protein nutrient provides the energy to human body and supports mood and cognitive function. The Protein is one of three macronutrients, and human body needs it in a larger amount. The other macronutrients are fat and carbohydrates. Proteins may be either complete or incomplete. Complete proteins that contain all essential amino acids. Animal products soy and quinoa are complete proteins. Incomplete proteins are proteins that do not contain the essential amino acids. Most of the plant foods are incomplete proteins, including beans, pea, wheat, nuts, and grains. People can combine with the incomplete protein sources to create a meal that provides all essential amino acids. Examples include rice and beans, or peanut butter on whole wheat bread egg. The protein food group consists of the foods made from meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, whey, soy, beans, peas, nuts, and seeds. The Animal protein and vegetable protein provide different nutrients for the body. They contain vitamins and minerals as well as different kinds of fat and minerals. Protein rich animal based foods commonly have high amounts of vitamins B, vitamin K vitamin E, iron, magnesium, ferrous and zinc. The Seafood often contains healthy fats. Plant sources of protein contain a high amount of fibre. Some animal based protein rich foods have an unhealthy amount of saturated fat and cholesterol, so it is very important to be mindful of one source of protein you are consuming. It is best to vary protein sources to help the body receive a sufficient diet of different nutrients. Examples of protein rich foods like fish, whey, poultry, lentils, and tofu. Oils are high in calories, but they are also an important source of nutrients like vitamin E and vitamin K. For older adults, the daily allowance of oils ranges from 5 to 8 teaspoons, depending on activity levels.

According to the report title “Europe Protein Ingredients Market Outlook, 2027” The Europe protein ingredients market size was valued at USD 13.83 Billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of more than 4.5% from 2022 to 2027.

The Europe Protein Ingredients Market is segmented into two basic types such as, the plant protein ingredients and the animal protein ingredients. Adults require about 0.8 g or 0.9 g of protein per healthy kilogram of bodyweight per day. The Oils contain monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats which are healthy fats that give you energy and help the body, absorb certain vitamins and minerals. The adverse effects associated with the long-term, high protein, high meat diets may include disorders of bone and calcium balance, increased cancer risk, disorders of the liver, digestive issues and worsening of coronary artery disease. Animal meat is known for its many nutrients.

Incomplete plant proteins can be matched with the other incomplete or complete plant protein to complete their amino acids. This process is called protein complementation. For example, spreading peanut butter on whole grain bread combines the incomplete proteins of both of these foods to produce a full spectrum of the amino acids. The Hydrolysed vegetable protein (HVP) is a type of process flavouring that has been used for many years to give meat like flavour to food products. The hydrolysis of the protein leads to high level of free glutamic acid. There are two possible types of Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein manufacture; either acid or enzyme hydrolysed vegetable protein. The former uses hydrochloric acid and temperatures of 100 - 130 °C. The soy protein ingredients market is anticipated to grow highest in the plant based protein ingredients during the forecast period 2022-2027.

The food & beverages has the largest market share of animal protein ingredients market in this region. The Germany is leading the Europe protein ingredients market because of the rise in geriatric population in Germany has fuelled the demand for medical nutritional products helpful in bone and muscle maintenance.

Covid-19 impact

Complete proteins found in animal products, contain all essential amino acids and may also exert an anti-inflammatory effect as most of the people admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 may already be experiencing protein-calorie malnutrition. Nausea, vomiting, throat pain and diarrhoea are just some of the symptoms that can affect oral intake, and these symptoms are directly correlated with the cytokine storm.The European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) recommends the immediate initiation of the oral nutrition supplements for patients who are able to eat by mouth easily. These supplements should provide at least 400 calorie and 30 grams of protein per day, according to ESPEN guideline In addition to modulating the immune response, protein is required in order to prevent the loss of muscle mass and function that follows the catabolic responses to COVID-19 pandemic and other inflammatory diseases.
