Abstract
Demand for food continues to rise with many factors affecting the demand and supply side. Prominent among them are concerns about personal health, animal welfare, and environmental considerations. Plant-based meat analogs have emerged as a possible response to the heavy environmental and health impacts of animal meat-sourced food options. Despite some promising early uptake of these new foods, there seems to be a slowdown. This chapter analyzes issues faced by plant-based meat analogs, including solving taste and texture challenges, use of ingredients, nutritional qualities, price differentials, and the role of consumer preferences, acceptability, and expectations.
