Abstract:
In recent years, the market demand for plant-based milk analogues has been rising because of health concerns with bovine milk, like lactose intolerance and hypercholesteremia. Another reason is the lifestyle changes like adopting veganism. This review aims to offer a layout of the manufacturing process and discuss the different properties of plant-based milk analogues. The health benefits offered by the plant-based milk analogues and measures taken to eliminate the existing limitations are also discussed. Sensory profile and stability of plant-based milk analogues which add to the quality of the product were also taken into account and reviewed. The current review's objective is to present a comprehensive, scientifically comparable overview of the preparation procedures, nutritional content, and sensory characteristics of plant-based milk analogues. This is done while keeping in mind the potential of plant-based milk substitutes and associated challenges.
