“…Among cheese imitations, our results agreed with others on a high SFA content [ 21 ]. However, chemical composition and nutritional value of either meat or milk from animal origin are strongly affected by animal species and animal nutrition [ 36 , 37 , 38 ].…”

While consumers are increasingly adopting plant-based meat and dairy imitation products, the nutritional quality and adequacy of those foods to act as a substitute is still under discussion. The Greek Branded Food Composition Database (HelTH) was expanded to map currently available meat and dairy imitations in Greece. Their main ingredient used, nutritional composition, and promotion as a healthy, nutritious food were described, and their overall nutritional quality using the Nutri-Score algorithm was evaluated. A total of n = 421 plant-based imitations were analyzed, made primarily of wheat or wheat mixes (83.5%) for meat imitations and grain (19.8%) or vegetable oil (17.1%) for dairy imitations. All meat imitations were high in protein and fiber, while, for dairy, only yogurts carried a protein content claim (80.9%). Imitation sausages, milk, and yogurt products had lower total fat and saturated fat content compared to their animal-based counterparts. All dairy imitations had lower protein content than animal-based dairy. The nutritional quality of imitation cheeses was graded as D–E, under the Nutri-Score system, compared to A–C for the animal-based cheese. Plant-based imitations have variable composition based on their main ingredient, and the substitution of specific food groups with plant-based alternatives may not support an equivalent or improved diet.

“…The increasing population and food consumption are placing unprecedented demands on agriculture (livestock and crops) and natural resources. By 2050, the world’s population is expected to increase to around nine billion people [ 1 ]. Worldwide meat consumption and production nearly quintupled from 1961 to 2019 [ 2 ].…”

“…In this context, in the last decade, research and the application of new technologies related to animal reproduction have evolved in an accelerated way, resulting in the development of techniques that increase the reproductive capacity of bovine livestock. The techniques that have received most attention are artificial insemination, superovulation, in vitro fertilization, embryo culture, transfer and freezing, sexing of semen and embryos, and, more recently, embryo cloning [ 1 ]. Assisted reproduction plays a crucial role in animal husbandry, providing means to enhance reproductive efficiency and the genetic quality of livestock.…”

Worldwide meat consumption and production have nearly quintupled in the last 60 years. In this context, research and the application of new technologies related to animal reproduction have evolved in an accelerated way. The objective of the present study was to apply nanoemulsions (NEs) as carriers of lipids to feed bovine embryos in culture media and verify their impact on the development of embryos produced in vitro. The NEs were characterized by particle size, polydispersity, size distribution, physical stability, morphology using atomic force microscopy (AFM), surface tension, density, pH, and rheological behavior. The NEs were prepared by the emulsification/evaporation technique. A central composite rotatable design (CCRD) was used to optimize the NE fabrication parameters. The three optimized formulations used in the embryo application showed an emulsion stability index (ESI) between 0.046 and 0.086, which reflects high stability. The mean droplet diameter analyzed by laser diffraction was approximately 70–80 nm, suggesting a possible transit across the embryonic zona pellucida with pores of an average 90 nm in diameter. AFM images clearly confirm the morphology of spherical droplets with a mean droplet diameter of less than 100 nm. The optimized formulations added during the higher embryonic genome activation phase in bovine embryos enhanced early embryonic development.
