In the food industry in the past two years, plant-based "artificial meat" can be regarded as the biggest outlet
.
.
What brought the industry to such a climax were two American companies, one is Beyond Meat and the other is Impossible Foods
.
.
But if you look closely at the product introductions of the two companies, you will find an interesting thing: BM's artificial meat protein source is mainly pea protein, while IF's mainly soy protein
.
.
What is the difference between these two types of protein in artificial meat? Why do these two have different choices?
The core of vegetable protein artificial meat is "using plant raw materials to simulate meat", including nutritional composition, taste and flavor
.
.
The simulated nutritional composition is relatively simple-compare the nutritional difference between plant protein and meat, and just add the missing ones
.
.
The taste is more difficult
.
To obtain the "chew feeling" of the meat, it is necessary to process the vegetable protein into a "fibrous shape"
.
In food technology, it is usually called "drawing"
.
To carry out "drawing", it is necessary for the protein to have good gel properties and undergo high temperature and high pressure extrusion.

Pressure can produce the texture of muscle fibers

In this regard, soy protein is superior
.
Moreover, the amino acid composition of soy protein is very close to human body requirements
.
Measured by the "Protein Digestion Correction Score" (PDCAAS), soy protein isolate gets a perfect score of 1.
0 like milk and egg protein, which is even higher than the 0.

.
It can be said that in terms of nutrition and processing performance, soy protein is the first choice for artificial meat
.
In fact, in the application of traditional meat products, soy protein almost dominates the world
.
Before BM's artificial meat became popular, many companies made similar products with soybeans on the market
.
For example, many vegetarian meats produced in Taiwan have a taste closer to meat than BM products

However, soy protein has been used for many years
.
The expansion of its food industry has almost been laid down by seizing the territory of milk protein
.
Over the years, the two industries have often exaggerated each other's "black spots"

After all, the dairy industry is much stronger than the soy protein industry

After years of "mutual black", "dairy-free products" have become

A selling point, and the image of soy protein in the eyes of European and American consumers is gradually "blackening"

The most important "black spots" are as follows: 1.
Soy protein is also one of the eight major allergens (because milk

Genetically modified
.
In China, domestically produced non-GMO soybean meal is used in the production of soy protein, while a large number of products in Europe and the United States use genetically modified soybean meal
.
With the rise of the "reversal" trend, European and American consumers have also begun to struggle with "genetically modified soy protein

Soybean meal used to extract soybean protein needs to have very low fat residues, otherwise the beany and hala taste will be relatively large, so the soybean meal after the oil must be extracted with an organic solvent
.
In this way, there will be traces of organic solvents remaining in the soybean meal

Soybean contains soy isoflavones, which is a kind of phytoestrogens
.
As far as health is concerned, soy isoflavones are actually "even if they are useless, there is no harm", but the name "phytoestrogens" is enough to make many consumers resist

In Europe and America, consumers also have an extremely paranoid pursuit of "no XX"
.
Pea protein does not inherently exist these four "black spots", and naturally won the favor of middle-class consumers
.
In a few years, the price of pea protein has been successfully counterattacked from being "lower than soy protein" to being "upscale" than soy protein

The defects of pea protein in amino acid composition are completely blocked by other bright spots (especially the "non-allergen")

As for the lack of wire drawing performance, it can be improved through the adjustment of the formula and process, making the final taste "close to meat" without any difference

In fact, BM also used artificial soy protein in the early days.

As the "selling point" of pea protein becomes more and more attractive, they simply put the banner of "no soy"-as mentioned earlier, as long as it is "no XX", consumers will like it

The biggest selling point of IF is to better simulate the flavor of meat by adding heme
.
BM's artificial meat simulates the flavor of meat through flavors and spices.
Although it claims that it can be faked, many consumers can still taste the difference
.
And IF is creatively adding heme from plants-and heme is the precursor substance that produces "meat aroma" during the cooking process of meat
.
Therefore, the selling point of IF is a greater degree of "simulation"-and soy protein can produce muscle fiber taste better than pea protein, so using it is also a good choice
