As vegetarian and vegan diets have taken hold across the Western world in recent years, the food industry has in turn seen a burgeoning demand for plant-based substitutes, known as analogues. Consumers are hungry for a product that aligns with their values, meets their nutritional needs, and also delivers on its promise of simulating the qualities of its target food item, be that beef, chicken, egg or dairy. Researchers are thus continually working to more closely approximate not only the taste but also the aesthetic, textural and rheological properties of the food item they are imitating. Meanwhile, questions about the nutritional content and environmental impact of food analogues are also of major interest for conscious consumers.
