Plant based Protein isolates
Plant-based protein isolates consist primarily of concentrated globular and storage proteins derived from botanical raw materials. These proteins are composed of defined amino acid sequences folded into tertiary and quaternary structures.
At LeafyLife, protein fractions are obtained following lipid and polyphenol separation, then refined and concentrated to achieve controlled protein content suitable for nutritional and functional systems.
Primary Composition: Amino Acid Polypeptide Chains
Compound Class: Protein Isolate
Appearance: Off-white to cream-colored fine powder
Structural Features:
- Peptide-bond linked amino acids
- Defined tertiary structure
- Functional side-chain groups
- Nitrogen-containing biomolecules
Unlike small-molecule bioactives, proteins function as macromolecular nutritional substrates with distinct physicochemical properties.
