| description | The definition of meat analog refers to the replacement of the main ingredient
with other than meat. It also called a meat substitute, meat alternatives, fake
or mock meat, and imitation meat. The increased importance of meat analog in the
current trend is due to the health awareness among consumers in their diet and
for a better future environment. The factors that lead to this shift is due to
low fat and calorie foods intake, flexitarians, animal disease, natural
resources depletion, and to reduce greenhouse gas emission. Currently, available
marketed meat analog products are plant-based meat in which the quality (i.e.,
texture and taste) are similar to the conventional meat. The ingredients used
are mainly soy proteins with novel ingredients added, such as mycoprotein and
soy leghemoglobin. However, plant-based meat is sold primarily in Western
countries. Asian countries also will become a potential market in the near
future due to growing interest in this product. With the current advance
technology, lab-grown meat with no livestock raising or known as cultured meat
will be expected to boost the food market in the future. Also, insect-based
products will be promising to be the next protein resource for human food.
Nevertheless, other than acceptability, cost-effective, reliable production, and
consistent quality towards those products, product safety is the top priority.
Therefore, the regulatory frameworks need to be developed alongside. |
