Today, Vegetable is one of the most important sources of protein, which many people want to incorporate in their diet. People are more inclined towards vegetable protein than animal-based protein because there are many consumers who prefer green and natural ingredients, rather than meat protein since it adds cholesterol and might cause serious health concerns. Today, vegetable protein is extensively used as a supplement for food in the beverage and food industry. There are various sources from which vegetable proteins are derived like pea, soy, corns, legumes, lentils, nuts and grains. The demand for vegetable protein is growing in end-user industries and this is one of the crucial driving factors for the vegetable protein market.
