LikeMeat
aims to enable small and medium sized enterprises to develop meat analogues with excellent
texture, juiciness, appearance and aroma having high consumer acceptance in order to participate
in this growing market sector. This aim will be achieved by exploring in detail raw material
characteristics with respect to process behaviour and texture and flavour. Further microbiota
in raw, intermediate and end products will be carefully monitored to improve the shelf-life and
ensure the safety of the products. An extensive assessment of consumer preferences, acceptance and
needs will allow target-orientated food developments and the promise of well-accepted products for end users.
