SUMMARY:The Science of Alt Protein: Structuring plant-based whole muscle cut analogs
DESCRIPTION:The Science of Alt Protein: Structuring plant-based whole muscle cut analogsPast\n\n\n\n\nJoin Dr. Mario Martinez to learn about his work structuring plant-based whole muscle cuts using extrusion and less refined protein fractions to give plant proteins the fibrous qualities of muscle tissue. \n\n\n\n	Share this page on Facebook\n	\n	Share on Facebook\n\n\n	Share this page on Twitter\n	\n	Share on X\n\n\n	Share this page on LinkedIn\n	\n	Share on LinkedIn\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent speaker\n\n\n\nDr. Mario Martinez \n\n\n\nAssociate Professor and Sapere Aude Research Leader at the Department of Food Science\, Aarhus University\, Denmark \n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar description\n\n\n\nTraditional meat consumers represent the largest consumer segment and\, therefore\, plant-based foods resembling meat in taste and texture have the best chance for widespread adoption. In this presentation\, Dr. Mario Martinez\, Associate Professor at Aarhus University and GFI grantee\, will provide methods to unlock the fabrication of plant-based whole-muscle cut analogues using less refined plant protein fractions and scalable technologies (e.g.\, extrusion). Results from minimal processing will highlight the structuring synergies among endogenous components (e.g.\, polysaccharides and minerals) and exogenous ones (fabricated fillers). Finally\, the in vivo sensory description of these sustainably produced food structures will be discussed. \n\n\n\n\n\nMeet the speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMario Martinez\, PhD\n\n\n\nAssociate Professor and Sapere Aude Research Leader at the Department of Food Science\, Aarhus University\, Denmark \n\n\n\nMario Martinez is Associate Professor and Sapere Aude Research Leader at the Department of Food Science at Aarhus University in Denmark. His research program focuses on translational biopolymer science\, approaching the structure and function of food biopolymers\, their binding potential to plant secondary metabolites\, the elucidation of their complex structural biochemistry\, and their food structuring behavior. During the last years\, his team has also worked on the fundamental aspects related to the structuring technologies of semi-solid plant-based foods\, as well as the establishment of green derivation routes of polysaccharides into high-performing biomaterials. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpcoming events\n\n\n\nView all events\n\n\n\n\n	\n															\n								\n		\n										\n						\n		\n			\n								\n							\n													November 12\, 2026\n																\n								Virtual Event\n																			\n				\n				\n					The Science of Alt Protein: Genome-scale modeling of porcine cell metabolism\n				\n				\n							\n				Explore how a GFI-funded genome-scale metabolic model can reveal porcine cell nutrient requirements and inform lower-cost culture media for cultivated…

In this seminar\, NewEdge will discuss the difference between ideas and opportunities and will provide tools for how to think strategically about this at your own company. Topics will include:  \n\n\n\n\nHow to toggle between individual product ideas and the larger market opportunities to get bigger ideas and longer-term roadmaps\n\n\n\nDefine the three elements of opportunity (needs\, value creators\, and conditions) and learn why all three are needed for success\n\n\n\nSee the tools come to life through examples of failure and success in the alternative protein space\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar is ideal for both entrepreneurs and established companies. You’ll walk away better equipped to focus your efforts on where your company can thrive.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpcoming events\n\n\n\nView all events\n\n\n\n\n	\n															\n								\n		\n										\n						\n		\n			\n								\n							\n													November 12\, 2026\n																\n								Virtual Event\n																			\n				\n				\n					The Science of Alt Protein: Genome-scale modeling of porcine cell metabolism\n				\n				\n							\n				Explore how a GFI-funded genome-scale metabolic model can reveal porcine cell nutrient requirements and inform lower-cost culture media for cultivated…
