Cellular Agriculture and Bioreactors
In 2024, the use of cellular agriculture and bioreactors has advanced significantly in cultured meat production. Researchers and companies are refining the process of growing animal cells in controlled environments, leading to more efficient and sustainable meat production.
Plant-based Media and Growth Factors
The development of plant-based media and growth factors has gained traction as a sustainable alternative to traditional animal-derived components. This innovation not only reduces the environmental impact of cultured meat production but also addresses ethical concerns related to animal products.
3D Printing Technology for Structured Meat Products
In 2024, 3D printing technology has been integrated into cultured meat production to create structured meat products with customizable textures and compositions. This innovation allows for the production of meat alternatives that closely resemble traditional animal-based meats.
Novel Sources of Protein for Cultured Meat
Researchers and companies are exploring novel sources of protein for cultured meat, such as microalgae and fungi, to diversify the range of meat alternatives available. These alternative protein sources offer sustainable and scalable options for cultured meat production.
