Cellular Agriculture and Bioreactor Technology
In 2024, significant progress has been made in the development of bioreactor technology for the large-scale production of cultured meat. This includes advancements in the design and efficiency of bioreactors, as well as the optimization of cellular agriculture techniques for meat cultivation.
Plant-based Growth Media
The use of plant-based growth media has become more prevalent in sustainable cultured meat production. Researchers have been able to develop specialized growth media derived from plant sources, reducing the reliance on animal-derived components and further enhancing the sustainability of cultured meat production.
3D Bioprinting for Meat Production
In 2024, 3D bioprinting technology has been increasingly utilized for the fabrication of structured cultured meat products. This approach allows for the precise layering of cells and biomaterials, enabling the creation of complex meat textures and structures that closely resemble traditional meat products.
Advancements in Scaffolding Materials
Advancements in the development of scaffolding materials have contributed to the improvement of the texture and mouthfeel of cultured meat products. Researchers have been exploring novel biomaterials and scaffold designs to mimic the natural extracellular matrix, resulting in more realistic and palatable cultured meat products.
