Texture and color are considered the
Holy Grail when it comes to using
plant-protein ingredients to mimic meat.
It is a fine art to duplicate the textural
subtleties such as chewiness, fibrosity, and flakiness of the meat or fish. Proprietary innovative manufacturing and formulation technologies have become available and are now increasingly used for animal protein replacement.
Global demand for protein is booming partly due to rising incomes in emerging markets. Higher income also translates to consumers’ demand for improved organoleptic and nutritive quality, while shifting the diet preferences to include more protein, says Henk Hoogenkamp, Protein Specialist & Author.
In the future, cellular biotechnology is going to be the second domestication
The combination of population
growth and rising environmental
pressures means the new protein
demand will have to be met by
more than animals.

No Self Reliance
Increasing meat consumption has
manifested itself in China, losing
its near self-sufficiency in soybeans.
Chinese soybeans imports have steadily
increased and now represent about
85 percent of consumption. Similarly,
corn imports are now also at the
beginning of the soy-trajectory as
compared to the past when China
was self-sufficient.
There is a growing awareness of the role of fibers in gut
health, including healthy digestion. Particularly
in developed countries, disorders of the digestive
system are a significant public health issue.

Meat without animals is the new notion of cellular biotechnology using stem cells and
bioreactors as the basic platform to “brew” healthy and nutritious clean meat.
