Consumers are expecting a meat-like experience when eating plant-based meat analogues. A similar texture is a crucial factor in mimicking conventional meat which can be achieved by using e.g. extrusion technology. The texture and juiciness of meat alternative strongly depend on the moisture content of the product. In addition, it is also an important parameter regarding the shelf life of plant-based meat products. Therefore, moisture content is an important quality parameter. This application note describes how METTLER TOLEDO's halogen moisture analyzer can be used to test meat substitutes to provide fast and accurate moisture content measurements that correspond fully to the drying oven method.
In this application note, you will learn:
- Why moisture content is important for meat analogues
- Why moisture content (%MC) is important in the production of plant based meat substitutes
- How to use the halogen moisture analyzer for fast and easy moisture content determination
- A tried and tested moisture analyzer method for measuring moisture content in plant-based chicken and burger meat alternatives
Download our free application note to see how you can improve efficiency and productivity using a halogen moisture analyzer to measure moisture content in meat alternatives.
