The definition of meat analog refers to the replacement of the main ingredient with other than meat. It also called a meat substitute, meat alternatives, fake or mock meat, and imitation meat. The increased importance of meat analog in the current trend is due to the health awareness among consumers in their diet and for a better future environment. The factors that lead to this shift is due to low fat and calorie foods intake, flexitarians, animal disease, natural resources depletion, and to reduce greenhouse gas emission. Currently, available marketed meat analog products are plant-based meat in which the quality (i.e., texture and taste) are similar to the conventional meat. The ingredients used are mainly soy proteins with novel ingredients added, such as mycoprotein and soy leghemoglobin. However, plant-based meat is sold primarily in Western countries. Asian countries also will become a potential market in the near future due to growing interest in this product. With the current advance technology, lab-grown meat with no livestock raising or known as cultured meat will be expected to boost the food market in the future. Also, insect-based products will be promising to be the next protein resource for human food. Nevertheless, other than acceptability, cost-effective, reliable production, and consistent quality towards those products, product safety is the top priority. Therefore, the regulatory frameworks need to be developed alongside.

본 연구는 조직감 및 기능성 면에서 우수한 식물성 대체육의 제조를 위하여 부원료로 버섯을 첨가한 압출성형 대체육의 품질특성에 대하여 살펴보았다. 대체육의 원료는 분리대두단백 50%, 글루텐 40%, 옥수수 전분 10%를 섞은 것을 기본배합(base)으로 하였다. 버섯 첨가함량을 기본배합 대비 0, 4, 8, 12%로 한 총 네개의 시료를 수분함량 55%, 스크루 속도 150 rpm, 바렐 온도를 170℃로 하여 냉각 사출구를 통해 20℃로 사출하였다. 압출성형 후 물리적 특성으로 경도, 탄성, 응집성, 씹힘성과 절단 강도, 조직잔사지수, 보수력을 측정하였고, 화학적 특성으로 수용성 질소지수, 단백질 소화율과 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성을 측정하였다. 버섯 첨가함량이 증가함에 따라 경도, 탄성, 응집성, 씹힘성과 절단강도가 모두 증가하였으며, 조직잔사지수 역시 증가하였다. 반면에, 버섯 첨가함량이 증가할수록 보수력과 수용성 질소지수는 감소하였으며, 단백질 소화율도 다소 감소하였다. DPPH 라디칼 소거활성은 버섯 첨가함량의 증가에 따라 유의적인 증가를 나타내었다. 압출성형 대체육에 버섯의 첨가는 대체육의 조직감을 개선하고 항산화 기능성을 부여하는 유효한 공정임을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the recent development of meat analog, industrialization, and the related legal changes worldwide. Summarizing the current status of the industrialization of meat analog, studies on plant-based meat, mycoprotein, and edible insects were mainly conducted to investigate their sensory properties (texture, taste, flavor, and color resembling meat), nutritional and safety evaluations, acquisition method of meat alternatives, and commercialization. Cultured meat is mainly studied for developing muscle satellite cell acquisition and support techniques or materials for the formation of structures. However, these technologies have not reached the level for active industrialization. Even though there are differences in the food categories and labeling between countries, it is common to cause confusion or to relay false information to consumers; therefore, it is important to provide accurate information. In this study, there were some differences in the food classification and food definition (labeling) contents for each country and state depending on the product shape or form, raw materials, and ingredients. Therefore, this study can provide information about the current research available on meat alternatives, improve regulation, and clarify laws related to the meat analog industry, which can potentially grow alongside the livestock industry.

This study explored the physicochemical, textural, and sensorial properties of a meat analog (MA) as compared to beef and pork meats. Results illustrate that MA patties had lower moisture, fat, and protein content, as well as higher ash and crude fiber than beef and pork. Likewise, MA patties had a higher pH, lightness (L^*), and redness (a^*) than either beef or pork. Pork meat exhibited the highest released water (RW) and cooking loss (CL) values, followed closely by MA with beef displaying the lowest values. Regardless of patty type, the post-cooking diameter patties were reduced significantly (p<0.05). However, the Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF), hardness, chewiness, and gumminess of beef were significantly higher than that of either pork or MA. The visible appearance of MA patties had more porous and loose structures before and after cooking. Consequently, based on sensory parameters, MA patties demonstrated the higher values for appearance and firmness, followed by beef and pork respectively, although the difference was not statistically significant. Therefore, the current study demonstrated that some physicochemical, textural, and sensory characteristics of beef and pork exhibited the most similarity to MA.

This study reviewed the current data presented in the literature on developing meat analogs using plant-, insect-, and protein-derived materials and presents a conclusion on future perspectives. As a result of this study, it was found that the current products developed using plant-, insect-, and mycoprotein-derived materials still did not provide the quality of traditional meat products. Plant-derived meat analogs have been shown to use soybean-derived materials and beta-glucan or gluten, while insect-derived materials have been studied by mixing them with plant-derived materials. It is reported that the development of meat analogs using mycoprotein is somewhat insufficient compared to other materials, and safety issues should also be considered. Growth in the meat analog market, which includes products made using plant-, insect-, and mycoprotein-derived materials is reliant upon further research being conducted, as well as increased efforts for it to coexist alongside the traditional livestock industry. Additionally, it will become necessary to clearly define legal standards for meat analogs, such as their classification, characteristics, and product-labeling methods.

The origines of the Western roasting culture and East Asian boiling culture were studied and the importance of primitive pottery culture (8000-5000 BCE) in the Korea Strait coastal region was discussed. The primitive pottery culture probably initiated the Jjigae (stew) culture and the production of salt. It can be also postulated that fish fermentation, kimchi fermentation, and cereal alcohol fermentation originated during this period. Soybean culture emerged ca. 2,000 BCE in South Manchuria and the Korean Peninsula. This paper focuses on the role of Korean foodways in the food science and technology development for the sustainable and resilient food systems. We are facing a global food crisis caused by population growth, climate change, and high animal food consumption. Studies on the meat analog and cultured meat are the new trend in Food Science and Technology. The importance of the wisdom learned through the Northeast Asian traditional foods, for example, soybean curd (tofu) and meaty flavor production by fermentation for the research on the novel sustainable and resilient food systems are discussed.

Soy protein meat analog was produced using a twin-screw extruder attached with a cooling die. Heat transfer analysis was performed for cooling dies with various die sizes at the four different moisture contents of feed during extrusion process. The experimental design consisted of two cooling die widths (30 and 60 mm), three cooling die lengths (100, 200, and 300 mm), four product moisture contents (71.2, 67.0, 61.6 and 55.8%), and water and water plus ethylene glycol as cooling material. When water was used as cooling medium, the values of equivalent overall heat transfer coefficient $(U_e)$ for each die width of 30 and 60 mm were in the range of 187.0 - 341.4 and $358.5-191.6W/m^2^{\circ}C$ depending on the size of die length. Convective heat transfer coefficients between cooling water and inside die wall of cooling channel $(h_c)$ for both die widths of 30 and 60 mm were 588.5, 416.1, and $339.8W/m^2^{\circ}C$ for each die length of 100, 200, and 300 mm. Convective heat transfer coefficients between product and inside die wall of product channel $(h_p)$ for each die width of 30 and 60 mm were in the range of $434.6-888.1W/m^2^{\circ}C$ and $460.7-1014.5W/m^2^{\circ}C$ depending on the size of die length. When water plus ethylene glycol was used as cooling medium, the values of $U_e$ were in the range of $143.9-319.6W/m^2^{\circ}C$ and $177.8-332.7W/m^2^{\circ}C$ for each die width of 30 and 60 mm depending on the size of die length.

본 연구에서는 고품질 인조육의 개발을 위하여 압출성형 인조육에 가공 부산물의 활용 측면에서도 장점을 지닌 참치 톱밥을 첨가하여 압출성형 공정을 거친 후 이화학적 특성에 대하여 살펴보았다. 압출성형 원료는 탈지대두분 65%에 분리대두단백 25%, 옥수수 전분 10%를 혼합한 것을 기본 배합시료로 설정하였고, 기본 배합 100%, 기본 배합에 참치 톱밥 15%를 첨가한 것과 참치 톱밥 30%를 첨가한 것, 세가지 시료를 제작하였다. 원료 사입량은 100 g/min, 스크루회전 속도 250 rpm, 사출구 온도 $140^{\circ}C$, 수분함량은 50%로 고정하여 압출성형한 후 비길이, 밀도, 파괴력, 조직잔사지수, 보수력, 조직감 분석, 수용성 질소 지수, 단백질 소화율, DPPH 라디칼 소거 활성을 실시하였다. 참치 톱밥의 첨가 함량이 높을수록 파괴력과 밀도는 감소하였고 단면 팽화율과 비길이는 증가하였다. 또한, 참치 톱밥 첨가 함량이 높을수록 조직잔사지수와 보수력은 감소하였으며 수용성 질소 지수와 단백질 소화율도 다소 감소하였다. DPPH 라디칼 소거 활성에서는 참치 톱밥의 첨가 함량이 높을수록 값이 증가하였으나 저장 기간이 30일과 60일로 길어짐에 따라 값이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 산패도의 측정값은 참치 톱밥의 첨가 함량이 높을수록 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 60일 이후부터는 참치 톱밥의 첨가 함량이 높을수록 다소 증가하여 150일 이후에는 유의적 차이를 보였다. 기본 배합 시료에 참치 톱밥을 첨가하면 유연한 조직감과 영양적 가치를 보존하면서 항산화 기능이 증진되었다.

Interest and investment in cultivated meat are increasing because of the realization that it can effectively supply sufficient food resources and reduce the use of livestock. Nevertheless, accurate information on the specific technologies used for cultivated meat production and the characteristics of cultivated meat is lacking. Authorization for the use of cultivated meat is already underway in the United States, Singapore, and Israel, and other major countries are also expected to approve cultivated meat as food once the details of the intricate process of producing cultivated meat, which encompasses stages such as cell proliferation, differentiation, maturation, and assembly, is thoroughly established. The development and standardization of mass production processes and safety evaluations must precede the industrialization and use of cultivated meat as food. However, the technology for the industrialization of cultivated meat is still in its nascent stage, and the mass production process has not yet been established. The mass production process of cultivated meat may not be easy to disclose because it is related to the interests of several companies or research teams. However, the overall research flow shows that equipment development for mass production and cell acquisition, proliferation, and differentiation, as well as for three-dimensional production supports and bioreactors have not yet been completed. Therefore, additional research on the mass production process and safety of cultivated meat is essential. The consumer's trust in the cultivated meat products and production technologies recently disclosed by some companies should also be analyzed and considered for guiding future developments in this industry. Furthermore, close monitoring by academia and the government will be necessary to identify fraud in the cultivated meat industry.
