Protein in Juice
Protein is the most plentiful bodily component after water. The body uses various proteins to form muscles, ligaments, tendons, hair, nails and skin.
Proteins are needed to create enzymes which direct chemical reactions, and hormones, which direct bodily processes.
Fruits and vegetables contain lower qualities of protein than such high protein foods as meat and dairy products, and are therefore thought of as poor proteins sources.
However, juices are concentrated of easily absorbed amino acids, the building blocks that make up protein. For example, sixteen ounces of carrot juice ( two to three pounds of carrots) provides about five grams of protein (the equivalent of one hot dog or two ounces of tofu).
Vegetable protein does not provide all the amino acids your body needs.
You will need to add other protein sources, such as legumes (beans, lentils and split peas) and whole grains and/or low fat animal proteins, to your daily diet.
But juice is an excellent protein supplement, especially for vegetarians.

Nutrition is a scientific discipline that encompasses a structured body of knowledge. It includes various fields such as clinical nutrition, community nutrition, public health, food policy, and food science. At its core, nutrition is the study of how the body utilizes food. It is essential to life. Understanding nutrition enables us to make better dietary choices by determining the necessary nutrient intake, identifying optimal food sources, and recognizing beneficial or harmful food components.

Fruit always played an important role in human nutrition.
However, before the 20th century, drinking squeezed fruit juice was the privilege of a few.
Welch was the first to reserve grape juice with heat treatment in America in 1869, followed by Muller-Thurgan in Switzerland in 1896.
Thus began the production of preserved fruit juices, which was followed by a huge development in the 20th century.
The role of vitamins and minerals in the human body was discovered at that time, which triggered substantial changes in eating habits.
Consequently, fruit consumption has become an everyday need.
Due to the revolutionary development of technical equipment, the appearance of chemicals and biological substances (enzymes, clarifying and flavoring agents), and the applications of new technological procedures, especially the aseptic technique – which enabled the production of fruit juices without preservatives – of fruit juice production became widespread.
