Abstract
The growing concerns over sustainability, health, and ethical considerations have led to an increasing demand for plant-based alternatives to animal-derived fats in food products. This research aims to explore various plant sources and processing techniques for the development of functional and palatable substitutes for traditional animal fats. The study will investigate the physicochemical properties, sensory characteristics, and nutritional profiles of these plant-based alternatives, as well as their potential applications in different food formulations. By addressing the challenges associated with texture, flavor, and functionality, this research seeks to contribute to the development of sustainable and healthier fat options for the food industry.
