Project Details
Description
The goal of this project is to investigate the health effects of current meat analogues as part of a healthy diet and to develop strategies for health supporting product characteristics that still consider sustainability. Key health aspects of meat analogues will be investigated like protein digestibility and quality, the content in process-induced contaminants (e.g. N-nitrosamines, heterocyclic amines (HAs), advanced glycation end-products (AGEs)) and the complex interaction with the intestinal microbiota (modulation of the gut microbiome as well as type and amount of microbial metabolites produced). The insights will be used to develop design rules for healthy ingredients for meat analogues.
