Trypsin inhibitors are compounds that block the action of trypsin, an enzyme essential for protein digestion, reducing the absorption of nutrients, particularly proteins.
-
n the context of plants, trypsin inhibitors serve as a natural defense mechanism against herbivores and pests
-
Trypsin inhibitors impair nutrient absorption primarily by reducing protein digestion and amino acid availability. However, their effects can be minimized through proper processing or dietary adjustments, ensuring better nutrient utilization and reduced anti-nutritional impact.

It destructively alters trypsin thereby rendering it unavailable to bind with proteins for the digestion process. As a result, protease inhibitors that interfere with digestion activity have an antinutritional effect. Therefore, trypsin inhibitors are considered an anti-nutritional factor or ANF.
