"Artificial meat" to mass production

University of Maryland scientists speculate that, as a large number of manufacturing artificial chicken, mass production of artificial meat will become a reality. However, to make it seem more like a normal meat food also takes time.

Johnson said, for those who care about the environment, food safety and animal welfare, artificial meat is a very good choice. Moreover, he added that now the global demand for meat has been growing, such as China, every decade meat demand will double within five years, India has doubled, in theory, if a cell is able to meet the needs of the global meat.

Including the University of Maryland, Johnson, PhD, several scientists in the tissue engineering published an essay, announced two new technology likely to achieve mass production of artificial meat edible. These artificial meat industrial production documents for the first time through peer review.

Artificial meat will bring many benefits, such as control of nutrients, reduce pollution from livestock and so on. The goal of making artificial meat is produced containing nutrients, structure and ownership of meat tastes like beef, pork, poultry, meat or fish products.

Scientists can cow or chicken muscle cells, and then multiply out thousands of new muscle cells, the use of fish cells have already acquired the artificial meat, now to study how the implementation of the mass production. This requires from the cells of different organizations, including muscle and fat, the structure of the artificial meat also pressing issues.

The thesis of another author that allow people to accept artificial meat is also one of the problems, after all, this product has never been linked with manual manufacturing.

Johnson currently and several other common start research projects, scientists to promote the development in this area.
