Plant-based Meat

Delivered January 17, 2020. Contributor: ChristineD

Goals

Determine the mechanical or chemical procedures or ingredients that are used to improve the texture of plant-based meat. 

Early Findings

Plant-based MeatPlant-based Meat Texture Enhancers
Scientists use various crops to develop plant-based meat.
Currently, most of the plant-based meat are made from soya or wheat.
 
Experts are now doing trait mapping and digital phenotyping to experiment with other crops that can have the right texture.
"Milling, pounding, soaking, extruding, and applying enzymes are some of the processes used to transform crops into fibrous animal-meat like product.
