Introduction

Almond protein is a plant-based protein derived from almonds (Prunus dulcis) through processes such as cold-pressing and defatting. It has emerged as a nutrient-dense, allergen-friendly, and sustainable alternative to animal and soy proteins, finding wide application in nutrition products, bakery items, beverages, and personal care formulations.

Due to growing consumer demand for clean-label, plant-based, and allergen-free protein sources, almond protein has gained significant attention in the food, beverage, and nutraceutical industries. It combines high nutritional value with excellent functionality, making it ideal for use in both vegan and functional food applications.
