The adoption of plant-based protein among millennial consumers has been on the rise. Consumers are prioritizing health, wellness, and social issues, leading to a conscious shift in their shopping choices. In the United States alone, there are 200 million shoppers following specific diets or health-related programs, and 180 million have food allergies or intolerances. Plant-based alternatives are becoming more popular among millennials, who are more open to the idea of plant-based products. Between 2013 and 2017, the US witnessed a 54% growth rate in food and beverage product launches with plant-based claims.
Extrudable fat technology is playing a crucial role in making plant-based foods more appealing. This technology mimics animal fat in plant-based meats, allowing for more authentic textures and flavors, such as marbling. By linking fat and protein together, this technology enhances flavor release, texture, taste, and moisture retention, providing a better eating experience.
Increasing awareness about the health benefits associated with fermented food products is driving the demand for meat substitutes like tempeh. Tempeh is a soy-based product with a cake-like consistency, made through a fermentation process. It offers various health benefits, such as increasing antibodies, reducing sugar levels, lowering cholesterol, and decreasing the risk of diabetes and heart diseases.
