Improving the Mouthfeel of Plant-Based “Meat”: Neutrons and X-rays provide information on structure formation that can help us improve meat alternatives

Research output: Non-textual formWeb publication/siteScientific

Abstract

Sustainability, health and animal welfare concerns drive consumers to plant-based meat alternatives, but their mouthfeel is still lacking. Mimicking the complex fibrous meat structure is key for alternative whole-cut products to be accepted by meat lovers. A recent study, published in Food Hydrocolloids, shows what neutrons and X-rays tell us about hierarchical structure formation of soy-based meat alternatives. This is a multi-institutional study by scientists from the Delft University of Technology, Wageningen University & Research, ISIS Neutron and Muon Source and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility.
