Food Science of Animal Resources, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 44(2), P. 284 - 298

Published: Feb. 15, 2024

Restructured meat (RM) products are gaining importance as an essential component of the industry due to consumers' interest in health benefits. RM imply binding or holding meat, by-products, and vegetable proteins together form a product with meat's sensory textural properties. provide consumers diversified preferences like intake low salt, fat, antioxidants, high dietary fiber products. From point environmental sustainability, may aid combining underutilized low-valued by adequately utilizing them instead dumping waste material. processing technique might also help develop new hybrid It is crucial have more knowledge on quality issues, selection agents, their optimum proportion, finally, ideal techniques. observed this study that most feature could be its healthy reduced fat content, which aligns health-conscious who seek low-fat, low-salt, high-fiber options minimal synthetic additives. This review briefly overviews factors affecting shelf life. Moreover, it discusses recent studies agents Nonetheless, advancements market scenarios been summarized better understand future research needs. The purpose was bring light ways sustainable economical food production.

In situ studies of plant-based meat analog texturization

Food Hydrocolloids, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 155, P. 110215 - 110215

Published: May 28, 2024

Plant-based meat analogs are the rising stars of food industry as they promise to mimic experience eating without animals. They popular due their meat-like fibrous structures and typically obtained via high-moisture extrusion cooking. Texturization is believed mainly take place during solidification in a cooling die attached end extruder. However, mechanisms behind this texturization not fully elucidated yet. This work presents situ studies fiber evolution within custom-designed extruder by small-angle neutron scattering on length scale from 1.3 436 nm. The measurements demonstrated that macroscopic did emerge unfolding, elongation orientation molecular level. contradicts existing hypothesis structuring mechanism underlying fibers. Instead, patterns indicate presence densely packed protein nano-aggregates around 40 nm consisting globular proteins with diameter 9 Based that, chain-like arrangement nano-aggregates, fractures viscoelastic mass flow field sharp temperature-dependent proposed for formation.

The Future of Plant-Based Diets: Aligning Healthy Marketplace Choices with Equitable, Resilient, and Sustainable Food Systems

Annual Review of Public Health, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 45(1), P. 253 - 275

Published: May 20, 2024

The future of plant-based diets is a complex public health issue inextricably linked to planetary health. Shifting the world's population consume nutrient-rich, among most impactful strategies transition sustainable food systems feed 10 billion people by 2050. This review summarizes how international expert bodies define and describes types dietary patterns. It also explores type proportion plant- versus animal-source foods alternative proteins relate reduce diet-related morbidity mortality. Thereafter, we synthesize evidence for current challenges actions needed achieve patterns using conceptual framework with principles promote human health, ecological social equity, economic prosperity. We recommend governments, businesses, civil society encourage marketplace choices that lead plant-rich within healthy, equitable, resilient agroecological systems.

Healthy and Sustainable Diets in China and Their Global Implications

Agricultural Economics, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 16, 2025

ABSTRACT Current diets in China and worldwide are neither healthy nor sustainable. This paper addresses this challenge focusing on China, which has experienced a rapid dietary transition recent decades. We investigate how can improve both health environmental outcomes by adopting sustainable through literature review food system modeling exercise. further analyze policy interventions, including supply‐ consumer‐side strategies, promote the toward such diets. The findings provide valuable lessons for other countries facing comparable challenges.

Agricultural Economics and the Transformation Toward Sustainable Agri‐Food Systems

Agricultural Economics, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 29, 2025

ABSTRACT Agri‐food systems around the world are facing a sustainability crisis. Addressing many interconnected issues requires fundamental transformations, moving beyond incremental improvements of various details toward broader and more profound systemic change. In this article, which is also introduction to ICAE 2024 Special Issue, we explore role our agricultural economics profession in shaping these transformation processes, examining how discipline contributes understanding agri‐food system dynamics identifying opportunities enhance resilience. We argue that economists can should play central international research policy initiatives by integrating multiple goals metrics with rigorous economic analysis. Interdisciplinary cooperation colleagues agronomy, nutrition, environmental sciences, social political other relevant fields necessary, as further development use data‐driven approaches. However, equally important maintaining strong theoretical foundations develop hypotheses understand behavioral mechanisms. Close exchange nonacademic stakeholders at all levels key for relevance. provide an overview plenary papers presented on facets sustainable development.

Mushroom–Legume-Based Minced Meat: Physico-Chemical and Sensory Properties

Foods, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 12(11), P. 2094 - 2094

Published: May 23, 2023

A growing number of health-conscious consumers are looking for animal protein alternatives with similar texture, appearance, and flavor. However, research development still needs to find alternative non-meat materials. The aim this study was develop a mushroom-based minced meat substitute (MMMS) from edible Pleurotus sajor-caju (PSC) mushrooms optimize the concentration chickpea flour (CF), beetroot extract, canola oil. CF used improve textural properties MMMS by mixing it PSC in ratios 0:50, 12.5:37.5, 25:25, 37.5:12.5, 50:0. Textural sensory attributes suggest that ratio 37.5:12.5 had better properties, showing hardness 2610 N higher consumer acceptability content up 47%. Sensory analysis suggests 5% (w/w) oil showed most acceptable compared other concentrations. Color parameters indicate 0.2% extract shows whiteness, less redness, yellowness both fresh cooked MMMS. This containing PSC, CF, oil, could be suitable sustainable food product which may lead adoption as substitute.

Economics of Ecosystem Restoration

Annual Review of Resource Economics, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(1), P. 329 - 350

Published: May 31, 2023

Restoration of degraded ecosystems is essential for having a stable climate, reducing weather extremes and disease burden, producing enough food to feed growing populations, generally keeping the world livable. However, we are currently rapidly degrading worldwide, thus destroying very basis life. There major gap between what investments needed restore prevent further degradation actually being invested. In addition, most governments still learning how design implement ecosystem restoration policies that effective efficient. Ecosystem should be among our main scientific endeavors. This review fills critical in existing literature by providing theory-informed understanding findings emerging from this highly policy-relevant strand resource economics.
