Elastin and the Vegetarian Diet
Elastin is a structural protein primarily found in the connective tissues of animals, such as ligaments and skin. It is valued for its ability to allow tissues to resume their shape after stretching or contracting. In the food industry, elastin can sometimes be used for its textural properties, although its use is less common compared to other proteins like collagen.
