SMART Proteins-An Overview

Introduction Smart protein, popularly termed alternative protein, is a rapidly growing sector, focussing on novel foods as a viable alternative to animal derived protein in a cost effective, resource effective and nutritious manner. These are alternatives to animal derived from meat, eggs, diary, and seafood, focussing on delivering same sensory experiences to the consumer so that the foods can be accessed like a simple switch to “fiction food”. Smart proteins can be plant based, fermentation derived, insect based or cell cultivated. Instead of encouraging consumers to decrease the meat consumption, Smart proteins present sustainable, conceivable, and scalable alternatives to meat, eggs, milk, fish and chicken by simulating the taste and texture.
