Revolutionizing Meat Production with Speed and Sustainability
In a groundbreaking development for the food technology sector, Meatable announced today that it has drastically reduced the time required to produce cultivated meat. By transforming pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) into high-quality fat and muscle tissue in a mere four days—a process previously taking eight—the company has established a new industry benchmark. This achievement not only accelerates production but also reduces costs significantly, paving the way for the large-scale commercialization of cultivated meat products.
Leveraging Opti-Ox for Efficiency
The cornerstone of this rapid production process is Meatable’s proprietary Opti-Ox technology. By addressing the cultivated meat industry’s challenge of producing quickly and efficiently, Opti-Ox has enabled Meatable to streamline its “cell-to-sausage” timeline impressively. The technology’s ability to halve cell differentiation time means the process now requires nearly 50% fewer bioreactors at scale, thereby reducing capital expenditure, optimizing production space, and enhancing overall sustainability.
A Sustainable Future for Meat Production
Daan Luining, Co-founder and CTO of Meatable, hailed this progress as a pivotal moment for both the company and the cultivated meat industry at large. “This is truly a remarkable moment for Meatable and the cultivated meat industry as a whole, as we just made the fastest process in the industry that much faster,” Luining stated. He further emphasized Meatable’s dedication to producing meat without animal harm or environmental detriment, noting that the efficiency gains from their process are a significant step toward realizing this vision.
By producing cultivated meat that replicates the flavor, texture, and nutritional profile of traditional meat in an unprecedented timeframe, Meatable is at the forefront of a shift towards more ethical and environmentally friendly meat consumption. The company’s advancements signal a future where meat production no longer requires extensive resources, such as land and water, nor contributes to animal suffering.
