Aiming to realize a more sustainable and cruelty-free meat industry, Singapore-based company Meatiply has recently unveiled three new lab-grown meat cuts.
The three new lab-grown meat cuts, which include kampong chicken yakitori, chicken katsu bites, and smoked duck breast meat, are intended for Asian cuisines.
According to Meatiply, they are capable of cultivating not just minced meat but even whole cuts of meat thanks to their innovative method of using a bioreactor.
“We developed a versatile platform that allows us to isolate and cultivate a variety of cells from different species. To date, we have developed prototypes with 3 different species, with at least 2 more in the pipeline. These 3 prototypes are just the beginning,” says Dr. Jason Chua, chief scientific officer and co-founder of Meatiply.
“By 2050, the global population is estimated to hit almost 10 billion people and 56 percent more food will need to be produced to sustain this increase. Moreover, the meat industry is also plagued with systemic problems that needed to be addressed. By shifting our focus from biomedical research to developing advanced food technologies, we felt that we could deliver significant impact on these pressing issues.” adds Dr. Benjamin Chua, chief product pfficer and co-founder of Meatiply.
