Why academic research is important 1. A Tool for Building Knowledge and Efficient Learning: Through academic research, students can gain new insights and knowledge which makes the learning more efficient. 2. Means to Understand Various Issues: Without proper research, several issues are susceptible to suffer from biased or error. Academic research gives means to understand issues effectively. 3. A Way to Prove Lies and to Support Truths: Academic research enables one to separate lies from truth and debunk myths. 4. Objectivity: Academic research facilitates an objective perspective to otherwise subjective issues. 5. Societal change: The practical purpose of academic research is to bring change in society, for example, through social research, scientific and technological research. 1) I am doing research on Meat analogue foods 2) because I want to find out textural and nutritional similarity between vegan meat and animal-produced meat 3) in order to compare the two for thier sensory and nutritional qualities. Research pattern 1. General Topic: Meat analogue foods 2. Narrowed topic: textural and nutritional similarity between meat analogue foods and animal-produced meat 3. Questions to guide the research: i. What is the meat analogue foods? ii. What are the commercially available vegan meats? iii. What are the textural similarities between vegan meat products to animal-produced meat products? iv. How to measure the textural properties of food items? v. What are the major nutritional components of animal-produced meat? vi. What are the major nutritional components of vegan meat? vii. What is the consumers’ response to meat substitutes? 4. Thesis Statement: Plant-based meat analogue foods can substitute animal-based foods with similar sensory and nutritional qualities. 5. Statement of purpose: Plant-based diets are in popularity throughout the world. Many analogue meats have been developed by researchers to mimic animal meats. However, the degree of similarity of these substitutes with the actual meat varies from product to product. The nutritional value is also a big factor when consuming animal-based foods. A review of nutritional comparison between the two types of foods and the sensory evaluation from consumers who are familiar with animal-based food can help customers in their choices of substitute food products. 6. Audience: Vegetarians and vegans who cannot consume animal-based meat products.
