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 contains a lot of protein and a little fat, so artificial meat is a healthy food. The other is artificial meat made from animal stem cells. ?

Soy protein meat is actually a kind of bean product that imitates the color and taste of meat. Using artificial meat made from animal stem cells, researchers "feed" the stem cells with sugar, amino acids, oils, minerals and various nutrients to make them "grow up" continuously.

Development prospect of 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. More importantly, it may also solve the more important challenges that human beings encounter, such as food shortage caused by population growth and rising food prices.

The United Nations is also interested in this technology. The world population will increase to 9 billion in the next 4 years, and the means of subsistence will not meet the needs of all people. At present, many research teams around the world have started research on artificial meat in the laboratory. At the first international symposium on test-tube meat held in Norway recently, experts planned to put it on the market for the first time, and said that after setting a series of technical standards, artificial meat may be put on supermarket shelves in the near future to compete with traditional natural meat for consumers.
