Protein line

The idea comes from the desire to create proper food, not just a simple protein biscuit, hence the name Proteone. The essential amino acids present in the proteins we use play a crucial role in ensuring that the proteins “properly bond” with the muscle. The combination of carbohydrates, proteins, and fibers makes our Proteone versatile; they can be used as a meal substitute when time is limited or in situations where you need to stay light but have the right amount of concentration.

The Proteone Rovai is rich in proteins with a high content of amino acids, providing “Energy for Everyone.” Combined with excellent ingredients, it is a nutrient-rich yet easily digestible biscuit.

Let’s learn more about proteins.

Proteins are (after water) the most abundant biological molecules in the human body and all living organisms; they are found in all cells and make up at least 50% of their dry weight.

Together with carbohydrates and lipids (fats), proteins are one of the three macronutrients essential for our survival: they ensure the growth and renewal of tissues, enable digestion, support the development of immune defenses, and facilitate the transport of oxygen in the blood.

Proteins are composed of long sequences of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins), which are linked together by specific bonds.

The most important functions of proteins are regulatory and energetic, performed by enzymes, which accelerate biological reactions and transform slow reactions into faster processes.

Proteins also perform other important functions in our bodies, including:

  • Structural or support function (e.g., collagen that makes up connective tissue or keratin in nails and hair)
  • Protective function (e.g., fibrinogen in blood, which allows it to clot, or antibodies produced by the body to defend against bacteria and viruses)
  • Transport function (e.g., hemoglobin in red blood cells, which binds oxygen from the inhaled air and distributes it to cells to perform their metabolic functions)
  • Storage function (e.g., ferritin, a protein that captures and stores iron recovered by the spleen from the breakdown of old red blood cells)
  • Contractile function (e.g., actin and myosin, which allow muscles to shorten and lengthen to perform their work)

Amino acids are the primary structural units of proteins. We can imagine amino acids as building bricks that, bonded together by a glue called a peptide bond, form a long sequence that creates a protein.

A good protein must be made up of a good quality of amino acids, like those in the Proteone Rovai recipe, providing energy but with high digestibility.

What is the difference between the proteins in pasta and those in milk or eggs? One might answer quantity. But the difference is much more significant!

Protein quality refers to the ability of a given protein or mixture of proteins to meet the body’s metabolic needs, providing the right amounts of essential amino acids.

Protein quality assessment can be used to determine the nutritional characteristics of a food or to define the adequacy of a diet and can provide information for regulatory purposes or in the formulation of new food products.

Protein quality varies based on two main factors:

  • Protein digestibility
  • Essential amino acid composition (“amino acid score”)

Proteins perform many functions in the human body:

  • Digestive enzymes help facilitate chemical reactions
  • Antibodies support immune function
  • They support the regulation and expression of DNA and RNA
  • They support muscle contraction and movement
  • They provide structure to the body
  • Hormones help coordinate bodily functions
  • They transport essential molecules within the body
