Researchers create new form of cultivated meat Biomedics claim to have developed a new form of cultivated meat using a method that promises more natural flavour and texture than other alternatives.
Innovation in the nascent but rapidly growing cultivated meat sector (also known as cultured, cell-based, slaughter-free and clean meat) has thus far focussed excessively on the minced meat format. So believes Ravi Selvaganapathy, a researcher at McMaster University’s School of Biomedical Engineering in Canada.
He told FoodNavigator the current methods of cultivated meat culture muscle cells and add fat and other additives such as binders to extrude the mix into a fibrous form that looks and feels like ground meat, which is then packed into a burger.

HAMILTON, ON, CANADA January 19, 2021 McMaster University researchers have developed a new form of cultivated meat using a method that promises more natural flavor and texture than other alternatives to traditional meat from animals.
Researchers Ravi Selvaganapathy and Alireza Shahin-Shamsabadi, both of the university s School of Biomedical Engineering, have devised a way to make meat by stacking thin sheets of cultivated muscle and fat cells grown together in a lab setting. The technique is adapted from a method used to grow tissue for human transplants.

Ontario researchers have produced a new form of cultivated meat that they say could be more sustainable and nutritious than naturally grown meat.
âBy 2050, the demand for meat will get to the point that even if we use every single resource that we have on the earth, it wonât produce enough,â said Alireza Shahin-Shamsabadi, a postdoctoral fellow in the department of mechanical engineering at McMaster University in Hamilton.

OTTAWA, Jan 20 Canadian researchers have developed a new form of cultured meat that offers a taste and texture similar to that of traditional meat. Made from rabbit cells, this fake or synthetic meat could eventually replace meat as we know it, particularly given the crisis in meat supply and the consequences of meat production and consumption on the environment.
While there is some debate as to how to name and label the many meat alternatives that have emerged in recent months and still others point to the fact that these alternatives have nothing to do with meat researchers are moving at breakneck speed to develop new forms of cultured meat, that is meats made primarily from animal cells.
