Microbiological analyses and students’ attitudes and perceptions towards microbiological risks of plant-based meat items

Plant-based meat was created to taste, feel, and look like traditional animal meat. It can improve health and reduce the risks of chronic illnesses. In recent years, consumers toward veganism kept increasing and the popularity of plant-based meat products has grown steadily in global market trends....

In recent years, consumers toward veganism kept increasing and the popularity of plant-based meat products has grown steadily in global market trends.

Collected data were analyzed by Microsoft Excel to obtain research findings. A significant increase iii was found in the microbial counts of all food samples as time storage is prolonged at room temperature (25±2°C).

description Plant-based meat was created to taste, feel, and look like traditional animal meat. It can improve health and reduce the risks of chronic illnesses. In recent years, consumers toward veganism kept increasing and the popularity of plant-based meat products has grown steadily in global market trends. These newly emerging food products were important to be microbiologically investigated, and the consumers’ attitudes and perceptions of microbiological risks of plant-based meat were also important for food safety purposes.
