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.
