This study aimed to conduct a cross-sectional analysis of plant protein beverages sold online in China, with a focus on assessing their nutritional composition. A total of 251 kinds of plant protein beverages were analyzed, including coconut (n = 58), soy (n = 52), oats (n = 49), walnut (n = 14), almond (n = 11), peanut (n = 5), rice (n = 4), other beans (n = 5), mixed nuts (n = 5) and mixed beverages (n = 48), according to the nutrition label on the commercial package and retailer websites. The results showed that, except for soy beverages, plant protein beverages generally had low protein content, cereal beverages showed relatively high energy and carbohydrate levels, and all plant protein beverages had low sodium content. Additionally, the fortification rate of vitamins and minerals in the analyzed plant protein beverages was found to be extremely low, at only 13.1%. Given the substantial variation in the nutritional composition of plant protein beverages, consumers should pay more attention to the nutrition facts and ingredient information when choosing these beverages.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu15122701","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,9]],"date-time":"2023-06-09T08:37:33Z","timestamp":1686299853000},"page":"2701","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Nutritional Composition of Plant Protein Beverages on China\u2019s Online Market: A Cross-Sectional Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Jialin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Yangtze Delta Region Institute of Tsinghua University, Jiaxing 314000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qiang","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yangtze Delta Region Institute of Tsinghua University, Jiaxing 314000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Ji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yangtze Delta Region Institute of Tsinghua University, Jiaxing 314000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2023, June 04).
