Utilization of novel food processing techniques to enhance the nutritional value and sensory attributes of plant-based meat analogs

Project Abstract

The increasing global demand for sustainable food sources has driven the development of plant-based meat analogs as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional meat products. However, challenges exist in replicating the taste, texture, and nutritional profile of meat in plant-based alternatives. This research project focuses on exploring the utilization of novel food processing techniques to enhance the nutritional value and sensory attributes of plant-based meat analogs.
