Many consumers are interested in decreasing their consumption of animal products, such as bovine milk, because of health, environmental, and ethical reasons. The food industry is therefore developing a range of plant-based milk alternatives. These milk substitutes should be affordable, convenient, desirable, nutritional, and sustainable. This article reviews our current understanding of the development of plant-based milks. Initially, an overview of the composition, structure, properties, and…

Development of Next-Generation Nutritionally Fortified Plant-Based Milk Substitutes: Structural Design Principles

This article highlights how the knowledge of structural design principles can be used to facilitate the creation of higher quality and more sustainable plant-based food products.

A brief review of the science behind the design of healthy and sustainable plant-based foods

An overview of the current status of the scientific understanding of plant-based foods focuses on the chemical, physical, and functional properties of plant ingredients; the processing operations that can be used to convert these ingredients into food products; and the science behind the creation of some common plant- based foods, namely meat, egg, and milk analogs.

The science of plant-based foods: Constructing next-generation meat, fish, milk, and egg analogs.

This review article focuses on the chemical, physical, and functional properties of plant-derived ingredients; the processing operations that can be used to convert these ingredients into food products; and, the science behind the formulation of vegan meat, fish, eggs, and milk alternatives.
