| abstract |
The present disclosure provides plant-based connective tissue analogs, plant-based meat substitutes containing them, and methods of making them without relying on extrusion or fiber spinning. The disclosed connective tissue analogs mimic the texture, chewiness, and mouthfeel of naturally occurring connective tissue found in meat and can be combined with other plant-based compositions to provide an authentic meat-like texture and mouthfeel in plant-based meat substitutes. |
