Modification approaches of plant-based proteins to improve their techno-functionality and use in food products

Food Hydrocolloids, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 118, P. 106789 - 106789

Published: April 4, 2021

Plant-based proteins have recently attracted particular interest owing to their sustainable origins, economical costs and health benefits compared animal-based counterparts. However, most of them limited applications due inferior functionality, which is the consequence poor-aqueous solubility, complexity sensitivity environmental stress conditions such as pH, salt temperature. Additionally, plant are often embedded in hemicellulose, lignin other poorly digestible polysaccharides, further reduce bioavailability. Therefore, modulation improve technological industrial applications, make more accessible general, highly sought after. The modification by altering physicochemical properties provides possibility diversify techno-functionality biological activities well addressing limitations. selection protein method should be done carefully from final application view especially food products since it can influence functional, nutritional organoleptic properties. discussing different methods with advantages disadvantages particularly timely. This review highlights discusses for order foods feasible improving flavor, nutrition techno-functional attributes, will open up new opportunities within plant-based products.

Plant-based food and protein trend from a business perspective: markets, consumers, and the challenges and opportunities in the future

Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 61(18), P. 3119 - 3128

Published: July 13, 2020

The food sector is increasingly turning toward sustainability issues. A sustainable system should provide sufficient, nutritious for all within limited natural resources. Plant-based and proteins are a recent, growing trend setting out to contribute this challenge. However, industry stakeholders need be aware of the challenges opportunities. This paper reviews from business perspective. It outlines global drivers, market trends, data observations, consumer behavior factors relevance, pinpoints strengths, weaknesses, opportunities threats (SWOT) companies. Findings suggest that policy context favorable in near future, but beliefs, perception understanding has change further opportunity grow on larger scale. More innovations needed, particular direction meat-replacements healthy as well clean label.

A reference genome for pea provides insight into legume genome evolution

Nature Genetics, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 51(9), P. 1411 - 1422

Published: Sept. 1, 2019

We report the first annotated chromosome-level reference genome assembly for pea, Gregor Mendel's original genetic model. Phylogenetics and paleogenomics show genomic rearrangements across legumes suggest a major role repetitive elements in pea evolution. Compared to other sequenced Leguminosae genomes, shows intense gene dynamics, most likely associated with size expansion when Fabeae diverged from its sister tribes. During Pisum evolution, translocation transposition differentially occurred lineages. This sequence will accelerate our understanding of molecular basis agronomically important traits support crop improvement. The model, provides insights into legume evolution agricultural

Quantifying the potential for climate change mitigation of consumption options

Environmental Research Letters, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 15(9), P. 093001 - 093001

Published: April 1, 2020

Abstract Background. Around two-thirds of global GHG emissions are directly and indirectly linked to household consumption, with a average about 6 tCO 2 eq/cap. The per capita carbon footprint North America Europe amount 13.4 7.5 eq/cap, respectively, while that Africa the Middle East—to 1.7 eq/cap on average. Changes in consumption patterns low-carbon alternatives therefore present great urgently required potential for emission reductions. In this paper, we synthesize mitigation potentials across domains food, housing, transport other consumption. Methods. We systematically screened 6990 records Web Science Core Collections Scopus.

Intensification for redesigned and sustainable agricultural systems

Science, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 362(6417)

Published: Nov. 23, 2018

The future of farming In the mid-20th century, food production from agriculture sharply increased worldwide; however, this was achieved through heavy use agrochemicals. Extensive collateral damage excessive pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers has occurred to wider environment. This led biodiversity loss, pesticide resistance emergence new pests, pollution decline freshwater supplies, soil degradation erosion, as well direct harm health. a Review, Pretty examines alternative approaches that can achieve sustainable intensification systems by integrating pest management with agroecological minimize costs, maximize yields, restore ecosystem services, ensure environmental enhancement.
