Resumo(s)
RuBisCO is a complete protein, widely abundant and recognized as ideal for human consumption. Further, its
biochemical composition, organoleptic and physical features mean RuBisCO has potential as a nutritionally
beneficial food additive. Nonetheless, despite growing plant-based market trends, there is a lack of information
about the applications of this protein. Here, we explored the biochemical features of RuBisCO as a potential food
additive and compared it with other plant protein sources currently available. We describe potential advantages,
including nutritional content, digestibility, non-allergenicity and, potential bioactivities. Despite the lack of
industrial procedures for RuBisCO purification, a growing number of novel methods are emerging, justifying
discussion of their feasibilities. Overall, this information can help both researchers and industry to review the use
RuBisCO as a sustainable source of protein for plant-based food products or formulation of novel functional
foods.
