Methods will be presented to analyze the difference between porcine and bovine cells\, what characterizes their sensory and pigment properties\, and how to efficiently grow them in 3D skeletal muscle tissue form. Material properties of raw cellular material will be described in the development of a blended cultivated burger prototype. Dr. Krieger will also address an industry perspective with respect to cultivated meat product development. \n\n\n\nAfter the seminar\, we encourage you to join our optional networking event for alternative protein enthusiasts! You can talk about your research\, your company\, any challenges you’re facing in your work\, or your reflections on the webinar. The networking sessions start at 2:15pm EST and require a separate registration.
