Nanotechnology for Cultured Meat

Nanotechnology is a technology for experimenting with and manipulating particles called nanoparticles. By using the concept of nanotechnology, one can create structures, materials, and machines by using nanoparticles with programmed precision. Nanotechnology is considered a potential technology to revolutionize veterinary medicine, animal health, and other areas of animal production. To keep pace with other industries, the meat industry has adopted nanotechnology in a range of applications to improve the quality and safety of its products. Potential applications include improved taste, texture, and flavor, production of low-fat and low-salt products, enhanced nutrient absorption, improved packaging technology, and better pathogen detection systems. In summary, innovations resulting from integrating nanotechnology with other related sciences, such as biotechnology, will significantly impact the production, processing, storage, transportation, traceability, and safety of meat products.

Solutions

As the pace of life accelerates and consumers become more aware of food safety, nanotechnology may be an important tool for increasing livestock products to meet future demand. Our experts are developing safer and lower-cost nanotechnology solutions that can be used in cultured meat to improve the availability of additives and bioactive ingredients. Our nanotechnology serves a wide range of vegetarians. It aims to master the properties of meat ingredients by individually manipulating atoms in an intelligent manner and to place them exactly where they are needed to produce the desired flavor, texture, etc.

As an ideal partner for cultured meat, Lifeasible has an advanced nanotechnology-based technology platform for cultured meat production. By utilizing nanoparticles, we can provide solutions for cultured meat production in a cost-effective manner.

Synthesis of Green Nanoparticle

We use bacteria, fungi, and plants to synthesize nanoparticles, such as mycorrhizal fungi, leaf extracts of black tea, green tea, eucalyptus leaves, and neem leaves.

Nanotechnology-Based Production of Cultured Meat

We combine biophotonics with nanotechnology that can provide better anchoring of cultured cells in cultured meat. This strategy serves as an alternative method for anchoring cells instead of using traditional scaffolding techniques. In addition, the addition of green nanoparticles to the cultured meat formulation increases the antioxidant and antimicrobial delivery of active ingredients, thus improving the flavor and texture while masking the taste.

Nanotechnology-Based Packaging of Cultured Meat

Cultured meat is high-value, perishable commodity, making it ideal target for value nanotechnology-assisted packaging. We offer the following nanotechnologies for the packaging of cultured meat.

❖Incorporation of nanoparticles into packaging materials to improve flexibility, barrier properties, strength, etc.

❖Active packaging, incorporating nanoparticles with antibacterial or de-oxygenating properties.

❖Smart packaging; incorporation of nanoparticle devices, such as nanosensors.

❖Development of biodegradable polymer-nanomaterial composites.

Nanotechnology-Based Detection of Cultured Meat

We have advanced nanosensors for detecting hazards in cultured meat, such as pathogens, toxins, and chemical residues. These devices exhibit high sensitivity, rapid response, and potential for integration into large-scale screening systems.

Advantages of Nanotechnology in Cultured Meat Applications

• Protection of cultured meat from microbial spoilage.
• Improves the organoleptic properties of cultured meat
• Enhances the functional and nutritional aspects of cultured meat.
