Introduction
Global population growth will strain the current industrial agriculture system, especially in the animal protein sector. Industrial-scale livestock farming has been linked to the rise in greenhouse gas emissions contributing to climate change, therefore researchers in the food and agriculture fields are developing more eco-friendly alternatives to mass-produced animal protein.
One key challenge in the development of alternative-protein foods is finding a way to measure and quantify the effects of processing conditions on product behavior, with the end goal of repeatably creating delicious, optimally-performing products at scale. This white paper offers a comprehensive overview of key elements involved in the production and performance measurement of alternative-protein ingredients, with a focus on analytical technology.
Discussion Points in the White Paper
• Alternative-protein manufacturing basics
