Proteins are an important substance in human and animal diets. Nutritionally, complete proteins are those that contain the right amounts of amino acids. A proper diet can be easily achieved when a person consumes the right mixture of proteins. Some of these might be deficient in one amino acid but rich in another.

Amino acids are organic compounds that are the building blocks of proteins. Amino acids form long chains. There are many kinds of amino acids but only about 20 are the main constituents of proteins. Half of these are identified as essential nutrients that are much needed by the human diet.
