Brazil is at the forefront of cultured meat development

Published 2023년 1월 17일

Tridge summary

Embrapa Suínos e Aves is leading a pioneering study in Brazil to develop chicken meat grown under controlled laboratory conditions. The final product, which should be ready for nutritional and sensory analysis by the end of 2023, is a boneless chicken breast fillet prototype that resembles sassami. The technology recreates animal tissues in the laboratory, providing meat similar to natural ones. The project was approved by The Good Food Institute, a non-governmental organization that finances global projects. The final product can be used for the production of unsafe foods, such as hamburgers, sausages and meatballs, or safe ones, such as fillets and steaks. The global poultry meat market has been growing and presents an estimated consumption of approximately 131 million tons in 2026. Countries like Canada, the Czech Republic, the United States, Japan, Israel, France, South Africa and Switzerland are also studying cultured chicken meat.

Embrapa Suínos e Aves (SC) is leading a pioneering study in Brazil to develop chicken meat grown under controlled laboratory conditions. The new product, which resembles sassami, in the form of boneless chicken breast fillet prototypes, should be ready for nutritional and sensory analysis by the end of 2023. Also found as an alternative protein, the technology recreates animal tissues in the laboratory a a from animal cells, providing meat similar to natural ones. This is an innovation that meets current consumption trends and adds value. The project was approved by the international competitive notice of The Good Food Institute ( GFI ), a non-governmental organization that raises funds and finances global projects. Of the 22 projects selected in 2021, five are Brazilian, including Embrapa Suínos e Aves. The increase in protein consumption over the years, new eating habits and concern for sustainability have awakened in the scientific community the need to expand the technology ...
