Innovations in the plant protein space have made significant strides in the past few years. A substantial body of work is to replace animal protein-based products with plant protein ingredients. Pulse proteins are receiving utmost attention among these plant proteins due to their nutritional and functional properties. This article critically evaluates the food and non-food applications of pulse protein and intends to present the most current knowledge with interest to stimulate further research to optimize pulse protein utilization. With the increased attention on plant-based foods, many novel applications and products such as infant formulas, meat analogues, milk alternatives, bean curd, bakery products, extruded products, pastes, food decorations, animal and fish feed, protein supplementations, microencapsulation carrier matrixes, biopolymer-based edible packaging, and cosmetic application are explored. Although pulse protein has limited non-food applications, there is considerable potential in nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmeceutical applications. Thus, further research is crucial for both food and non-food applications of pulse protein for broader market integration.
