Animal Science 460-560Flannery LucasMonday, March 10, 2014
WHAT IS LABORATORY GROWN MEAT? Based on stem cell technology Not a new idea Culture of skeletal muscle In vitro
LAB BURGERS: SIMPLIFIED
LAB-GROWN BEEF TASTE TEST: ‘ALMOST’ LIKE A BURGER Washington Post article from August 5, 2013 Environmental impact of traditional meat production Research scientist’s expectations Taste test
Journal of Meat Science article: Cultured Meat from Stem Cells: Challenges & Prospects Need for meat alternative Requirements for meat alternative Acknowledgement of further research
CHALLENGES Cost 140 grams = $330,000.00
Consumer acceptance Inclusion of healthier fats Texture Taste Government approval
PROSPECTS OF LABORATORY-GROWN MEAT Feed the planet Reduce environmental impacts Less land
Faster Nutritional benefits Novel products Blends
