Abstract

Due to the increase in the world population, the amount of meat used in human consumption has also increased in recent years. On the other hand, it is clear that animal-based meat production cannot sustain this growth and results in more pollution, land and water use, greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss than the pollution occurring in plant food production. For this reason, there has recently been a trend towards new protein sources that meet the protein requirements of the human diet and improve animal welfare without increasing the carbon footprint. To respond to this increase and to to mitigate the adverse effects associated with animal production, plant-based meat production (PBM) has recently received attention. Here we have tried to provide detailed information about the production methods, product features and consumer preferences of PBM alternatives.
