New meatballs have more protein, less fat.
Lab cultured meat is considered a viable alternative to sourcing animal meats in a much more sustainable way. Estimates suggest that culturing meat in the lab requires very little land in comparison and can greatly help in the In December 2020, the Singapore Food Agency approved the first cultured meat products for sale, which is expected to be similar approvals in other countries too.
The cells were grown on an edible 3D micro-carrier made out of porous gelatin. The micro-carrier also serves as a scaffold for cell expansion, wherein the researchers found that the cell expansion occurred at an accelerated pace. Compared to previous studies, where expansion rates were 10-fold over a seven-day period, the researchers found that their micro-carrier delivered a 20-fold expansion in the same time period.
The researchers also compared the nutritional content of their cultured meat with shizitou, a classic Chinese meatball dish available in the market. Their analysis showed that the cultured meatballs contained 70 percent protein, four percent fat, six percent carbohydrate, and essential minerals like zinc, calcium, and iron. The store-bought meatball dish had only one-fifth the content of protein while the fat content was three times high, although it contained fewer calories.
