Overview:

Proteins refer to the amino acids polymers which are joined together by peptide bonds. Proteins are consider to be the building blocks of body and also function as an efficient source of fuel. Proteins are continuously produced and degraded in living bodies via metabolic processes required for energy storage and recovery. Proteins play a crucial role in living organisms by contributing in all the processes within cells. Animal proteins refer to the proteins derived from animal sources such as meat, milk & eggs. Animal proteins cater to several requirements in various applications such as animal husbandry, food & beverages, healthcare and personal care.
