Abstract
The pursuit of nutrition and environmental protection is driving the demand for healthy and environmentally friendly food alternatives. Various plant-based substitute products are gaining popularity. Fats are crucial components of food, playing a pivotal role in human nutrition and contributing to the sensory properties of food. In addition to the use of healthier plant oils, the development of plant-based fat substitutes offers innovative ways to replicate the texture and mouthfeel of animal fats. A wide range of plant-derived matrices has been extensively employed in the creation of fat substitutes, including protein matrices, polysaccharide matrices, and complex matrices. The objective of this review is to examine the current advancements in plant-based fat substitutes. It will primarily focus on the selection of suitable substitutes and their specific applications within diverse food systems. By doing so, this review aims to shed light on the potential of plant-based fat substitutes in the development of low-fat foods, providing valuable insights into this emerging field.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Oil Chemists’ Society (JAOCS) is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes significant original scientific research and technological advances on fats, oils, oilseed proteins, and related materials through original research articles, invited reviews, short communications, and letters to the editor. We seek to publish reports that will significantly advance scientific understanding through hypothesis driven research, innovations, and important new information pertaining to analysis, properties, processing, products, and applications of these food and industrial resources. Breakthroughs in food science and technology, biotechnology (including genomics, biomechanisms, biocatalysis and bioprocessing), and industrial products and applications are particularly appropriate.
JAOCS also considers reports on the lipid composition of new, unique, and traditional sources of lipids that definitively address a research hypothesis and advances scientific understanding. However, the genus and species of the source must be verified by appropriate means of classification. In addition, the GPS location of the harvested materials and seed or vegetative samples should be deposited in an accredited germplasm repository. Compositional data suitable for Original Research Articles must embody replicated estimate of tissue constituents, such as oil, protein, carbohydrate, fatty acid, phospholipid, tocopherol, sterol, and carotenoid compositions. Other components unique to the specific plant or animal source may be reported. Furthermore, lipid composition papers should incorporate elements of yeartoyear, environmental, and/ or cultivar variations through use of appropriate statistical analyses.
