AI simplified

Abstract

Meat analogues (MAs) are developing as potential alternatives amid growing concerns about meat production's sustainability.

  • The global population increase raises challenges for the future supply of traditional meat.
  • Meat analogues, particularly plant-based options, are recognized as viable alternatives to conventional meat.
  • Research is ongoing into the nutritional values, sensory qualities, and consumer acceptance of various MAs.
  • Current literature provides limited comparative analyses of the chemical composition of different types of MAs.
  • This review aims to systematically compare the advantages and limitations of MAs in relation to consumer demands.
