Abstract(s)
Atualmente, têm-se questionado os princípios das dietas omnívoras, por razões de saúde pública, sustentabilidade ambiental e bem-estar dos animais. Este paradigma, criou os incentivos para que se considerem as dietas baseada em plantas (DBP) e os produtos alternativos à carne (PAC) como soluções alternativas às dietas omnívoras, para responder às preocupações pela centralização nos produtos de origem animal e seus derivados. Num primeiro estudo de revisão de literatura que contemplou 68 artigos científicos, demonstrou-se que a alimentação de base vegetal está associada a benefícios para a saúde humana, prevenção de doenças crónicas e potencial contributo para o bem-estar, sustentabilidade ambiental e dos sistemas de produção alimentar. No segundo estudo de revisão, englobando 194 artigos científicos, conclui-se que os produtos análogos a carne são uma solução para a ocorrência da transição dos produtos de origem animal para vegetal. O sucesso desta transição, do consumo de produtos à base de carne e de seus derivados, para o crescente consumo de produtos à base de plantas dependerá de três grandes condições: i) capacidade de elaboração de produtos que mimetizem as características organoléticas e funcionais dos produtos de origem animal; ii) maior adesão dos consumidores à inclusão na sua dieta diária; iii) incremento da produção de produtos vegetais que supram as crescentes necessidades do mercado no futuro
Currently, the principles of omnivorous diets have been questioned, for reasons of public health, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare. This paradigm created incentives to consider plant-based diets (PBD) and meat substitutes as alternative solutions to omnivorous diets, to respond to concerns about the centralization on products of animal origin and their derivatives. In a first literature review study that included 68 scientific articles, it was shown that plant-based food is associated with benefits for human health, prevention of chronic diseases and potential contribution to well-being, environmental sustainability, and food production systems. In the second review study, comprising 194 scientific articles, it was concluded that meat analogues products are a solution for the occurrence of the transition from animal to vegetable products. The success of this transition, from the consumption of meat-based products and their derivatives to the growing consumption of plant-based products will depend on three main conditions: i) ability to produce products that mimic the organoleptic and functional characteristics of the products of animal origin; ii) greater consumer adherence to inclusion in their daily diet; iii) increased production of plant products that meet the growing needs of the market in the future.
