The lab-grown pork innovator, Meatable, has achieved a significant breakthrough in production efficiency, reporting that it can now transform cells into sausages in a mere four days. This advancement cuts their prior record of eight days in half, positioning them as the frontrunner in rapid cell cultivation technology, according to their statement.
The innovative approach developed by the Dutch company significantly accelerates the production cycle, achieving a rate that is 60-fold quicker compared to conventional pig breeding methods. This efficiency is attained through a one-time extraction of a solitary cell from a pig, ensuring the animal remains unharmed during the process. The startup’s method represents a substantial leap forward in sustainable animal husbandry practices.
Revolutionizing Cultured Meat: Meatable’s opti-ox™ Technology
Meatable has innovated a platform that accelerates the conversion of cells into a meat product, surpassing the speed of traditional meat cultivation techniques. This efficient method utilizes pluripotent stem cells, which are distinguished by their rapid division and ability to renew themselves, alongside a proprietary technology named opti-ox™, an invention of co-founder Dr. Mark Kotter. This approach not only streamlines the production process but also offers a cost-effective solution in the field of cultured meat.
The technology in question mimics the organic proliferation of cells, facilitating their transformation into muscle and fat tissues in an expedited and meticulously managed manner. This process, as reported by Meatable, yields a nutritional composition that mirrors that of traditional meat. It’s significant to highlight that the initial offerings from Meatable consist of combined sausages and ground pork products, rather than entire portions such as steaks.
