Handbook of Plant-Based Meat Analogs: Innovation, Technology and Quality

Handbook of Plant-Based Meat Analogs: Innovation, Technology and Quality presents the growing opportunities and challenges of meat substitutes from plant-based resources. Addressing core topics from source ingredients to consumer acceptance, it provides a comprehensive starting point for those seeking to explore sustainable meat alternative products. To date, the full potential of plant-based meat products has been underexplored, underutilized, and underrepresented. This book provides the most up-to-date information on plant-based meat analogs, sources of ingredients, industrial processes, large-scale production, and health benefits, including safety and regulatory aspects and environmental implications. Organizes chapters by sections on types, processing, health benefits, sensory evaluation, and regulatory/safety issues of meat analogsIncludes methods and protocols for producing, storing, and evaluating meat analogsCovers meat analogs from plants, grains, nuts, microbes, and moreProvides case studies to illustrate concepts and practices INDICE: Section-I Meat analogs from different sources: Plant, microalgae, seaweeds, microorganisms and other sources Chapter 1 The potential of Mexican Plant Based Ingredients in Meat Analogues Formulation: Opportunities and Gaps in Reformulated Mexican Dishes Chapter 2 Processing of plant proteins in the development of plant-based meat analogs Chapter 3 Soybean and pea proteins as functional and nutritional ingredients of plant-based meat analogs.
