Protein Fractionation of Leafy Green Biomass at the Pilot Scale: Partitioning and Type of Nitrogen in the Fractions and Their Usefulness for Food and Feed

Abstract

Fractionation of green biomass often results in fractions with insufficient protein content or quality for food or feed. To understand ways forward, we evaluated the fate of nitrogen (N) and the food or feed suitability of six pilot-scale fractions. The N was present mainly as amino acids (AA) in all fractions (
