Plant-based fish analogs are in trend for their potential to reduce overfishing and for providing enriched dietary options. Tuna is popular for raw food applications, especially the bluefin species group ( and yellowfin (). The objective was to characterize the raw muscle of these species, identifying the most important traits and providing reference values for the development of plant-based analogs. Key factors to mimic in raw fish analogs include achieving a protein content of 25 %, emphasizing omega-3 DHA, and incorporating essential micronutrients. Visual attributes, such as color, translucency, and macrostructural aspects must be meticulously replicated. Additionally, capturing the subtle, delicate taste and aroma and replicating instrumental texture measurements are crucial yet challenging. This study highlights the importance of balancing nutrition, taste, texture, and visual appeal together to achieve consumer satisfaction, provides reference values, and establishes a pathway for developing plant-based raw tuna analogs.
基于植物的鱼类替代品正流行起来，因为它们有减少过度捕捞的潜力，并能提供丰富的饮食选择。金枪鱼在生食应用中很受欢迎，尤其是蓝鳍金枪鱼种群（以及黄鳍金枪鱼）。目的是对这些金枪鱼品种的生肌肉进行表征，确定最重要的特征，并为基于植物的替代品开发提供参考值。在生鱼替代品中需要模仿的关键因素包括达到25%的蛋白质含量、强调ω-3 DHA以及加入必需的微量营养素。视觉属性，如颜色、半透明性和宏观结构方面必须精确复制。此外，捕捉微妙、细腻的味道和香气以及复制仪器质地测量结果至关重要但具有挑战性。本研究强调了将营养、味道、质地和视觉吸引力进行平衡以实现消费者满意度的重要性，提供了参考值，并为开发基于植物的生金枪鱼替代品建立了一条途径。
