There are two kinds of artificial meat, one of which is also called soybean protein meat. Artificial meat is mainly made of soybean protein, because it is rich in protein and a little fat, so artificial meat is a healthy food. The other is artificial meat made from animal stem cells.

On April 28th, 2020, a foreign fast food company began to "breed" chicken nuggets in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Since mid-April, several other international chain catering enterprises have also launched tasting products around "artificial meat".

Scientists say that this kind of artificial meat can be absolutely clean, which can not only fundamentally eliminate virus infections such as mad cow disease and foot-and-mouth disease, but also ensure nutrition and reduce the pollution caused by raising poultry.

Production method:

Jason Masini, a doctoral student at the University of Maryland in the United States, wrote in the journal Tissue Engineering that a research team he led found two ways to make "artificial meat" in the laboratory.

One method is that they first extract cells from the muscle tissue of cattle, pigs, poultry or fish and cultivate them on a film. They found that cells will grow, swell and then fall off the membrane; When the exfoliated planar cell population accumulates to a certain thickness, meat is formed.

Another method provided by Masini is to cultivate muscle cells in three-dimensional particles, so that the cultured tissues can be used to make meat products, such as popcorn and ground beef.
