Protein is one of the most important components of our body and plays a vital role in growth, tissue repair and proper functioning of organs.
This valuable nutrient can be obtained from two main sources: animal and plant sources. The difference between animal and vegetable protein is due to their different structure and amino acid composition.
Animal protein is mainly found in red meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy products. This type of protein is known as a complete protein due to the presence of all the essential amino acids for the body. On the other hand, plant protein is found in legumes, nuts, seeds and some vegetables.
Proteins can be divided into two main categories based on their different sources, structure and function:
1- Animal protein
2- Vegetable protein
Animal protein is a type of protein obtained from animal sources. These proteins are known as complete proteins because they contain all the essential amino acids for the body. Essential amino acids are the building blocks of protein that the body cannot produce on its own and must be supplied through the diet.
Vegetable protein is a type of protein obtained from plant sources. Unlike animal protein found in meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products, plant protein is found in legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and some vegetables.
The difference between animal and vegetable protein in terms of amino acids
Proteins are made of smaller units called amino acids. Amino acids are like the building blocks that make up proteins. The human body needs 20 types of amino acids, some of which can be produced by itself and others must be obtained through diet. These amino acids that the body cannot produce are called essential amino acids.
Animal proteins such as meat, fish, eggs and dairy products usually contain all the essential amino acids and are therefore called complete proteins. Instead, many plant proteins such as legumes, nuts and seeds do not have enough of one or more of the essential amino acids and are therefore called incomplete proteins.
The difference between animal and vegetable protein in terms of nutritional value
Animal protein In addition to protein, animal sources contain vitamins such as vitamin B12, heme iron and other important minerals. While plant protein contains non-heme iron, it contains fiber, B vitamins and other minerals
