Patients with mental health disorders often have inadequate intakes of essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids, which can negatively affect neurotransmitter synthesis, mood, cognitive function, and sensory perception. This study evaluated the nutritional value and sensory acceptability of different flavoured pea protein isolate beverages in 78 patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders, mood disorders, eating disorders, and depression. The results of the sensory evaluation showed that the sweeter-profile beverages were the best-rated. Nutrient analysis confirmed that the beverages contained important vitamins and minerals, including B, vitamin C, zinc, and magnesium, as well as tryptophan and alpha-linolenic acid, while being low in saturated fat. The results suggest that pea protein isolate beverages are nutrient-rich, well-tolerated, and sensory-acceptable products with high potential as a complementary nutritional solution in mental healthcare.
患有精神健康障碍的患者通常必需氨基酸、维生素、矿物质和脂肪酸摄入不足，这会对神经递质合成、情绪、认知功能和感官知觉产生负面影响。本研究评估了不同口味的豌豆分离蛋白饮料在78例精神分裂症谱系障碍、情绪障碍、饮食失调和抑郁症患者中的营养价值和感官可接受性。感官评价结果表明，甜味更浓的饮料评分最高。营养分析证实，这些饮料含有重要的维生素和矿物质，包括维生素B、维生素C、锌和镁，以及色氨酸和α-亚麻酸，同时饱和脂肪含量较低。结果表明，豌豆分离蛋白饮料营养丰富、耐受性良好且感官可接受，作为精神卫生保健中的补充营养解决方案具有很高的潜力。
