Abstract:
... Pulses provide economic and health benefits to people in many countries around the world; however, their adoption in western diets, particularly in processed and formulated foods, is limited. One strategy to increase the level of pulses in western diets is to improve pulse accessibility to the ready‐to‐eat (RTE) food market sector. Pulses have compositional and structural differences when compared ...

In order to promote the application of high-quality varieties and explore the diversity of cultivated resources of Isatis indigotica Fort., the source of medicinal Banlangen, 10 germplasms were planted in Heilongjiang (HLJ) and Shanxi (SX) provinces to analyze two-year agronomic traits, yields and active ingredient contents in this study. The results showed that germplasm no. 2 had the highest yie ...
ingredients, etc ; case studies; consumer attitudes; markets; meat; plant proteins; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... Driven by consumer interest in sustainable diets, plant-based meat alternatives (PBMA) are gaining popularity with more products available on the market. Consumers increasingly demand “clean label” (CL) products free of additives and using a limited number of ingredients. This is a challenge for PBMA producers due to the difficulty of imitating meat-like properties without using additives. Against ...
