Metabolomics lab analysis reveals large nutritional differences between near-meat and meat

Metabolomics lab analysis reveals large nutritional differences between near-meat and meat Plant-based meat substitutes taste and chew remarkably similar to real beef, and the 13 items listed on their nutrition labels - vitamins, fats and protein make them seem essentially equivalent. But a Duke University research team s deeper examination of the nutritional content of plant-based meat alternatives, using a sophisticated tool of the science known as metabolomics, shows they re as different as plants and animals. Meat-substitute manufacturers have gone to great lengths to make the plant-based product as meaty as possible, including adding leghemoglobin, an iron-carrying molecule from soy, and red beet, berries and carrot extracts to simulate bloodiness. The texture of near-meat is thickened by adding indigestible fibers like methyl cellulose. And to bring the plant-based meat alternatives up to the protein levels of meat, they use isolated plant proteins from soy, peas, and ot

Meat And Plant-Based Alternatives Complementary, Not Nutritionally Interchangeable : Study

Meat And Plant-Based Alternatives Complementary, Not Nutritionally Interchangeable : Study KEY POINTS They found stark differences despite both having comparable nutrition labels Real beef and its alternatives contained nutrients that were not present in the other Are plant-based meat alternatives really interchangeable with real meat? A new analysis shows how different they can be. Plant-based meat alternatives have become quite similar to real meat, even in terms of texture and simulating bloodiness. Further, manufacturers have also incorporated important nutrients so they can be comparable to real meat. At a quick glance, real meat and the alternatives may seem essentially equivalent.  However, there are some nutrients that are not listed on the labels, Duke University
