Alternative food products are needed to address the most pressing challenges faced by the food industry: growing global food demand, health concerns, animal welfare, food security and environmental sustainability. Future foods are defined as foods with scalability and sustainability potential owing to rapidly advancing technological developments in their production systems. Key areas of study for future foods include cellular agriculture and plant-based systems, which include biomaterials as key ingredients or as structural components to impart texture, support cell growth and metabolism, and provide nutrients and organoleptic factors to food products. This Review discusses current requirements, options and processing approaches for biomaterials with utility in future foods.
