Western food systems are not sustainable in terms of environmental impacts and health effects. One solution is to revisit consumption patterns by favoring products based on plant proteins. However, one of the barriers to the introduction plant proteins in our diet is their sensory defects which can be obstacles for the acceptability of products by consumers. Fermentation is an ancient process that could be a solution to this sensory issue. In this context, the aim of this PhD thesis is to study the sensory benefits provided by the fermentation of plant protein-based gels using selected microbial consortia. In order to accomplish this, a strategy combining sensory analyzes, microbiology and physicochemistry was implemented. Two types of matr...
