McMaster University researchers have developed a new form of laboratory meat meat using a method that will offer an alternative to traditional animal meat with a more similar texture and taste.

Researchers Ravi Selvaganapathy and Alireza Shaheen-Shamsabadi, both from the University's School of Bioengineering, have proposed a way to create meat yasa, due to the assembly of thin sheets of cultured muscle and fat cells, which are also grown in the laboratory.

Sheets of living cells, which are comparable in thickness to paper, are first grown in a test tube, and then concentrated on plates for growth by removing and stacking together. Before the cells die, the sheets have time to “glue together”.

When folding the sheets, you can form a piece of any thickness. and saturate it with fat in a certain percentage ratio, which is an advantage over other alternatives.

As scientists describe in the journal Cells Tissues Organs, they managed to create meat from available mouse cell lines. Although they did not eat the mouse meat described in the research paper, they later created and cooked a sample of meat made from rabbit cells.

“It felt and tasted like normal meat” , – notes Selvaganapati.
