Cultured Meat

A Smart and Safe Alternative

Cultured meat offers a solution for global food shortages and the environmental impact of traditional meat production. Made from animal-derived cells that are grown in vitro, it is real meat.

The Benefits of Gelatin in Cultured Meat

Gelatin’s inherent properties offer distinct advantages over alternative ingredients in cultured meat. Being a safe, edible foodstuff with an abundance of integrin binding sites that improve cell adhesion, scaffolds made with gelatin can support a variety of adherent cell types in cultured meat. 

They are particularly suitable for the adhesion of myoblasts and adipocyte proliferation (Li et al., 2022). Additionally, gelatin microspheres can be used as delivery systems for nutrients and proteins for optimized cell growth. This also has been proven in scientific trials (Park et al. 2021).

Endotoxins: A Key Challenge in Cultivated Meat Production

Endotoxins, which are found in the cell walls of gram-negative bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella, are a challenge in cultured meat production. Even a small amount of these toxins in the growing medium can have a wide variety of effects, including hindering cells from reproducing. Using our endotoxin-controlled gelatin MEDELLAPRO® instead of alternative gelatins can help to ensure low toxin levels in end products.
