Plant-based meat analogues, edible insects, and cultured are promising major alternatives that can be used as protein sources in the future. It is also believed importance of will continue to increase because concerns on limited sustainability traditional production system. The expected have different roles based their benefits limitations. analogues insects replace a good source from perspective nutritional value. Furthermore, plant-based made available wide range consumers (e.g., vegetarian or halal food products). However, despite ongoing technical developments, palatability, including appearance, flavor, texture, still consumers' standard established livestock-based meat. Meanwhile, only method produce actual animal muscle-based meat; therefore, final product more meat-like compared other analogues. difficulties, especially mass cost, remain before it commercialized.

Edible insects have been considered as either nutritious food itemsper se, or wholesome ingredients to various dishes and components of traditional subsistence. Protein, fat, mineral vitamin contents in generally satisfy the requirements healthy food, although there is considerable variation associated with insect species, collection site, processing method, life stage, rearing technology feed. A comparison available data(based on dry weight) showed that can improve nutrient content, taste, flavour, appearance palatability insects, but are additional factors, which impact content composition species recommended for consumption by humans.

Insects: A Potential Source of Protein and Other Nutrients for Feed and Food

Annual Review of Animal Biosciences, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 9(1), P. 333 - 354

Published: Nov. 24, 2020

Sustainable production of healthy food for a growing global population, in the face uncertainties climate change, represents major challenge coming decade. Livestock provide with high nutritional value but are frequently fed on human-edible crops and associated significant greenhouse gases. Recent years have seen increasing interest farming insects as sustainable source human food, or replacement ingredients such soya fishmeal feeds terrestrial livestock fish. This review provides an overview insect physiology growth regulation, considers requirements mass production, summarizes 10 most commonly studied species, before reviewing literature use feed food. We highlight challenges required to develop sustainable, safe, affordable industry.

Potential Development of Sustainable 3D-Printed Meat Analogues: A Review

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 13(2), P. 938 - 938

Published: Jan. 18, 2021

To mitigate the threat of climate change driven by livestock meat production, a multifaceted approach that incorporates dietary changes, innovative product development, advances in technologies, and reductions food wastes/losses is proposed. The emerging technology 3D printing (3DP) has been recognized for its unprecedented capacity to fabricate products with intricate structures reduced material cost energy. For sustainable 3DP substitutes, possible materials discussed are derived from vitro cell culture, byproducts/waste, insects, plants. These material-based approaches analyzed their potential environmental effects, technological viability, consumer acceptance standpoints. Although skeletal muscles skin bioprinted medical applications, they could be utilized as without additional vascular networks. impediments bioprinting lack food-safe substrates/materials, cost-effectiveness, scalability. sustainability enhanced utilization generic/universal components or scaffolds optimization sourcing fabrication logistics. Despite availability several plants byproducts some start-up ventures attempting products, analogues remains challenge. From various powders, proteins (soluble/insoluble), lipids, fibers produced, which—in different combinations at optimal concentrations—can potentially result superior substitutes. Valuable byproducts/wastes using low energy methods reduce waste production offset greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Apart printer innovations (speed, precision, productivity), rational structure supply chain flow logistic costs can improve printing. Irrespective used, perception-related challenges exist 3D-printed products. Consumer significant challenge hinder success analogs.
