Cultured biomass, as a novel food ingredient, significantly contributes to providing meat-like flavor and nutrition. In this study, cultured porcine fat biomass (hereafter referred to as "biomass") was used as a fat substitute in the biomass/plant hybrid cultured meatballs (BPMs) to investigate the effect of biomass levels (0 %, 10 %, 20 %, and 30 %) on the flavor and nutritional characteristics, compared to the FPM-10 % group containing 10 % pig subcutaneous fat. Results showed that increasing biomass levels significantly enhanced the protein, fat, and total amino acid content of BPMs (p < 0.

Cultured fat is an important part of cultured meat, and the ability of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) to differentiate into mature adipose tissue affects the quality of cultured fat. Thus, the primary aim of this study was to screen for combinations of differentiation-inducing factors (DIF) using single-factor experiment and orthogonal experimental design under two-dimensional culture conditions for ADSCs. The results showed that a combination of DIF consisting of 1 μmol/L dexamethasone, 0.

Cultured meat is one of the meat substitutes produced through tissue engineering and other technologies. Large-scale cell culture is the key for cultured meat products to enter the market. Therefore, this study is aimed to explore the effect of long-term passage in vitro on smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and the effect of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) on SMCs in the late passage.

Cultured fat is inducing adipose progenitor cells (APCs) to differentiate into mature adipocytes for consumption. The traditional adipogenic differentiation cocktail, including insulin, dexamethasone, indomethacin, isobutylmethylxanthine and rosiglitazone, has potential food safety problems in cultured fat. Therefore, the detection of these residues is necessary to ensure food safety.

Article Synopsis
  • Cultured meat is a new type of food that is good for the environment and treats animals better.
  • Scientists studied special cells called adipose progenitor cells (APC) to understand how they grow and change into fat.
  • They found that the fat made from APC is similar to regular pig fat in taste, which could help make cultured meat delicious!

Cultured meat technology is a promising new technology to solve the negative problems brought by traditional animal husbandry. Cultured meat should be further developed to appear on consumers' tables as alternative protein product. Therefore, this study used food grade peanut wire-drawing protein as scaffold to culture smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in vitro to obtain cultured meat productions containing both animal protein and plant protein.

Cultured meat is an emergent technology that cultivates cells in three-dimensional scaffolds to generate tissue for consumption. Fat makes an important contribution to the flavor and texture of traditional meat, but there are few reports on cultured fat. Here, we demonstrated the construction of cultured fat by inoculating porcine adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (ADSC) on peanut wire-drawing protein (PWP) scaffolds.

Stemness decline of muscle stem cells (MuSCs) is a significant problem in cultured meat processing. In the present study, three flavonoids (quercetin, icariin, and 3,2'-dihydroxyflavone) with multi concentrations were evaluated to promote the proliferation and differentiation of porcine muscle stem cells. In the proliferation phase, 3,2'-dihydroxyflavone (10 μM) significantly amplified the cells by 34% and up-regulated the expression of paired box transcription factor 7 (PAX7) by 60%, which was higher than quercetin (75 nM) and icariin (7.

Cultivating meat is a promising solution to the negative problems brought by traditional animal husbandry. To make cultured meat have the sensory and nutritional characteristics of conventional meat as much as possible, many studies have been conducted on various cell types and scaffold characteristics. Therefore, this study aims to produce a low-cost cultured meat with a quality closer to that of conventional meat.

While the research on improving the meat quality of cultured meat is in full swing, few studies have focused on the effect of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) on the meat quality of cultured meat. Therefore, this study aimed at building a cultured meat model containing smooth muscle cells, and further evaluating the effect of smooth muscle cells on the quality of cultured meat, so as to reveal the contribution of smooth muscle cells in the production of cultured meat. In this study, we isolated high purity of smooth muscle cells from vascular tissues.

Article Synopsis
  • - In a study on the impact of tilling methods and nitrogen treatments on maize growth in the Huanghuaihai Plain, three tilling methods (conventional, rotary, and subsoiling) were tested alongside three nitrogen levels (120, 225, and 330 kg·hm).
  • - Rotary tillage showed the highest ammonification, and higher nitrogen levels increased microbial and enzyme activity related to nitrogen transformation; however, subsoiling tillage outperformed the others in nitrification and denitrification activities.
  • - The combination of subsoiling tillage with 225 kg·hm of nitrogen optimized soil nitrogen transformation, while using 330 kg·hm led to the highest maize yield, indicating a balance between nitrogen
