New trends in food industry - plant based meat substitutes

Abstract

According to the last results based on social questionnaires, the popularity of alternative meat is growing. If a few years ago the consumers were prejudiced against plant-based meat, now the consumers are ready to include it in their diet. For this reason, the SUSPLANT project partners from Sweden, Poland, Lituania, Ukraine and Republic of Moldova had created a public questionnaire to identify the needs of their country’s consumers in the new plant –based meat products. The questionnaire was based mainly on questions concerning the food culture of the consumers in different countries and if their society is ready to change the nutrition habits towards plantbased meat products.
