Stacking plant protein sheets
2021 – 2024
Dr. Yu is exploring a novel and scalable process to recreate the texture of thick animal meats by stacking layers of plant protein sheets.
Production platform: Plant-Based
Technology sector: End product formulation & manufacturing
Project aims
This project aims to precision-engineer whole-cut plant-based meat using layers of protein sheets. The process of stacking 2D sheets to recreate the texture, appearance, and organoleptic properties would provide a novel and scalable method of producing whole-cut alternative proteins.
This work will devise new methods to biomimic the texture of thick cut animal meats and could ultimately enable the scalable production of whole-cut alternative proteins.
