Extrusion-assisted canola protein extraction
Years active: 2024Canola meal will be processed by extrusion to extract protein that will be concentrated and dried to form a high-quality protein ingredient.
Terrestrial-specific
Low-cost cell culture media
Years active: 2024This project aims to develop efficient and cost-effective cell culture media from optimized bioprocesses for industrial-scale cultivated meat production.
Semi-continuous bioprocess for whole cut cultivated meat using simultaneous perfusion and stretch
Stretching of engineered muscle constructs has been previously demonstrated to induce alignment and maturation of muscle fibers, which is desirable for whole cut cultivated meat. Stretch stimuli could also be incorporated into a semi-continuous bioprocess in which a piece of tissue is expanded over time and portions of the tissue periodically harvested. The large amount of meat produced could offset the high initial cost of fabricating a construct capable of continuous growth.
Next-generation plant-based turkey products
There has been little in the way of publicly-announced R&D or commercial efforts to develop the next generation of tasty and affordable plant-based turkey products. There is room for innovation toward different formats and more complex products with higher fidelity to conventional turkey.
