ANALEGS.CAT - Fresh and cooked meat derivative substitutes made with vegetable protein sources from the Catalan primary sector
ANALEGS.CAT - Análogos de derivados cárnicos frescos y cocidos elaborados con fuentes de proteína vegetal del sector primario catalán
Context
Replacing meat products with meat substitutes is a growing trend. As far as the Spanish market is concerned, between 2019 and 2020, sales of so-called "plant-based meat" amounted to 87 million euros with a growth of 31% in terms of sales value.
New substitute products being developed food companies in response to growing consumer demand should be an opportunity for the primary sector to contribute valuable ingredients to the formulation of these products.
In the market for meat substitutes this "identity" can only be based on the origin of the ingredients they use. Therefore, the use of local ingredients, as well as being an opportunity for the Catalan primary sector, can also act as a seal of quality for producers of meat substitutes.
Objectives
The main objective of the project is to develop fresh and cooked meat substitute products made from local vegetable protein sources, promoting the “plant-based" value chain in Catalan agriculture.
Objectives
El objetivo principal del proyecto es desarrollar análogos de productos cárnicos frescos y cocidos, elaborados con fuentes de proteína vegetal de proximidad, impulsando la cadena de valor "plant based" en la agricultura catalana.
