The alternative meat industry, which aims to replace traditional livestock products, is experiencing growth. However, information regarding this industry remains limited, and plant-based meat analogs that have already entered the market are not growing as rapidly as initially anticipated. Moreover, the traditional livestock industry has significant concerns that the growth of meat analogs will encroach upon the livestock market and strongly opposes the approval of cultured meat and other meat analogs. In this study, we investigated the latest research on the production of plant-based meat analogs and examined the current market status of these products. We also predicted the impact of the growth of meat analogs on the livestock industry. Our findings indicate that the meat analog market has secured a substantial presence in the United States and European markets and is gradually expanding in major Asian countries, such as South Korea, China, and Japan. Additionally, while the meat analog market is growing slowly, the traditional livestock industry continues to expand. Furthermore, our analysis shows that the growth of the meat analog market, including plant-based meat analogs, has had a minimal impact on the traditional livestock market so far. Nevertheless, it is essential to continuously monitor potential market changes resulting from future advancements in meat analog technologies.

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.

In this study, concentration levels of beet powder (BP) and caramel color (CC) were optimized to simulate beef color in meat analogs before and after cooking. The central composite design of response surface methodology (RSM) was used to set the levels of BP and CC, and the CIE L^*, CIE a^*, and CIE b^* were selected as the responses for RSM. After optimization, myoglobin-free beef patties were prepared with three optimized levels of BP and CC. When raw, all the patties had the same color as natural beef; however, CIE L^*, CIE a^*, and CIE b^* were statistically different from those of beef after cooking (p<0.05). Moreover, the use of BP and CC induced "browning" after the cooking process, with no excessive yellow color. Therefore, based on the overall desirability in the color optimization using RSM, the combination of BP (1.32%) and CC (1.08%) with the highest overall desirability can be used to simulate the color change of beef in meat analogs.

본 연구에서 시판 연제품류의 전분함량을 분석한 결과 현재 시판되고 있는 대부분의 연제품류의 전분함량은 튀김어묵, 맛살류 그리고 진어묵 순으로 적었으며 그 함량은 각각 $16.5\sim20.6\%,\;12.4\sim17.3\%,\;8.1\sim8.7\%$ 범위였다. 특히 일부 제조회사의 튀김어묵류에서는 전분함량이 고형물의 절반이상 ($51.8\%$와 $67.2\%$)을 차지하였다. 품질 기준이 되는 전분함량과 각 조직감 특성의 상관성을 분석한 결과 경도와 탄력성이 전분함량과 유의적 상관성 (p<0.01)을 나타내었다. 경도는 전분함량의 증가와 함께 양의 상관성 (p<0.01) 이 있었고 탄력성은 음의 상관성 (p<0.01)을 나타내었다. 따라서 식품공전상에서 연제품류의 분류는 어육함량만으로 하기보다는 전분함량을 규정에 첨가하거나 부수적으로 전분함량에 대한 상관성이 높은 조직감 특성의 규제사항으로 제시한다면 더 나은 제품의 품질관리에 기여할 것으로 생각되었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the consumption status and perception of soy meat among university students and to compare their sensory evaluations of commercial meatballs and soy meatballs. The subjects were students at a university who were grouped into those majoring in food and nutrition and those not majoring in the subject. The results of the two groups were compared. The main sources through which the students became aware of meat analogs were examined. The food and nutrition major students were about three times more likely to learn about meat analogs through 'education', and those not majoring in the subject were about four times more likely to learn about them from the social media (P<0.01). The most common reason for having tried soy meat was 'curiosity' and that for not eating it was 'no opportunity'. Without significant differences between groups, the most common answer for questions relating to the product that they had eaten was 'Ramen flakes' (30.5%) and the most common answer for the routes for eating the product was in the order of: 'restaurants' (36.6%)>school lunches (24.9%)>large and medium-sized supermarkets (22.8%). The most common answer to the question inviting suggestions on 'improvement points to promote the consumption of soy meat' was 'taste'(19.2%), followed by 'product promotion' and 'reasonable price'. About half of the subjects failed to differentiate the soy meatballs from regular meatballs before the sensory test and 21.3% after that. The difference in the sensory test scores of the two types of meatballs with respect to 'texture' was significantly higher for the major students than for the non-major students (P<0.05). These results could provide basic information that could enable the promotion of soy meat.

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.

Alternative protein sources with greater nutritional value and a lower environmental footprint have recently attracted interest in the production of meat substitutes. However, it is required that these alternatives mimic the texture and structure of meat. This study investigated varying ratios of textured vegetable proteins (TVP) to Tenebrio molitor larvae (brown mealworm; TM) with the addition of transglutaminase (TG) to determine the quality characteristics of these emulsions. The results demonstrated low protein solubility of the emulsions as TVP content increased. Furthermore, when the proportion of TM was high, the TG-treated emulsion had a low pH. Additionally, when there was a high TM ratio to TVP in the TG treatment, the emulsions demonstrated better thermal stability and water holding capacity. Regarding the rheological properties of the emulsion, both the frequency-dependent storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G'') increased as the proportion of TVP in the emulsion increased with and without the addition of TG. Differential scanning calorimetry analyses demonstrated two protein denaturation peaks in all treatments, with high peak temperatures for both treatments with a high proportion of TM. The hardness and chewiness of the emulsion were highest in the treatment (T6 and T8) with TG, and the gumminess of the emulsion was greatest when TM only or when equal ratios of TVP and TM were treated with TG, respectively. In conclusion, the addition of TM to TVP with TG improves the overall texture of the protein mixture, making it a suitable meat alternative.
