Proteínas do soro do leite: composição, propriedades nutricionais, aplicações no esporte e benefícios para a saúde humana
Palavras-chave:
alimentos fortificados, exercícios, proteínas do leite, suplementos dietéticosResumo
As proteínas do soro do leite, também conhecidas como whey protein, são extraídas durante o processo de fabricação do queijo. Possuem alto valor nutricional, contendo alto teor de aminoácidos essenciais, especialmente os de cadeia ramificada. Também apresentam alto teor de cálcio e de peptídeos bioativos do soro. Pesquisas recentes demonstram sua grande aplicabilidade no esporte, com possíveis efeitos sobre a síntese protéica muscular esquelética, redução da gordura corporal, assim como na modulação da adiposidade, e melhora do desempenho físico. Estudos envolvendo a análise de seus compostos bioativos evidenciam benefícios para a saúde humana. Entre esses possíveis benefícios destacam-se seus efeitos hipotensivo, antioxidante e hipocolesterolêmico. Esta revisão buscou trabalhos que trazem avaliação das propriedades funcionais das proteínas do soro, tanto em humanos como em animais. Apesar das evidências apresentadas, novos estudos, assim como o desenvolvimento de novos alimentos enriquecidos com as proteínas do soro, com o intuito de facilitar seu consumo por grandes grupos populacionais, são necessários para verificar sua real eficácia.
