They are manufactured using grain- and plant-based sources to replicate animal-based protein and calcium, which aid in reducing cholesterol level, preventing menopausal difficulties and other related ailments. Currently, soy, tofu, tempeh, textured vegetable protein (TVP) and seitan are the most common types of meat substitutes available in the market. They are usually processed with various food additives, emulsifiers, coloring and leavening agents to enhance their flavor, texture and shelf-life.
