Characterising food technologies for alternative protein nutrition parameters

This joint report by The Good Food Institute APAC and Altruistic Innovations explores the landscape of food technologies used in plant-based meat and mycoprotein-based products, with a focus on how innovative processing and formulation strategies can enhance nutritional outcomes. Using published research, product claims, and technical disclosures, the report utilises a scoring matrix to evaluate how each strategy improves digestibility, completeness, bioavailability, or functional nutrient delivery, and where further opportunities exist.
