Synthetic meat is not new, there are different companies that grow and produce it; but here we come to a new one and unlike this and other synthetic meat products, this new one has a special advantage, this is news from January 8.
In the image they are lamb chops, or they imitate lamb meat, notice that they have managed to recreate the meat, but not the bone, what you are seeing is a wooden stick, which I don't know if it would be a good idea to put it on the grill These chops, the meat they have managed to reproduce very well, including the fat, the effect of the fat in the chops.
These are the two researchers who have achieved it, they are engineers, one Israeli and the other Palestinian from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specifically Dr. Mohammad Ghosheh and Professor Yaakov Nahmias, they are pioneers in the use of metamaterials as they call them to create these cuts. of meat, these chops that imitate the intricate architecture of muscle and fat, that is, the texture is the same or better said, it is a simile, it is an imitation of the texture of real meat, keep in mind that What we call meat is actually the muscles of the animals and the fat that is also in it.
These meat analogues are produced by injection molding, it is another technique, another technology that can be used to create this alternative meat, the interesting thing about these chops and what marks another step is that it is not only a culinary question of "let's go "Let's try something different, something new, different, let's try a curiosity," no, it's also that unlike other previous 3D printing methods to create synthetic meat, it turns out that these methods are slower and more expensive.
This new method that these engineers have developed is much cheaper and more practical, which facilitates large-scale production. They have calculated that this method reduces costs to only 9 per kilo, almost a quarter of that of 3D printing, which makes this type of synthetic meat more accessible to a wider public, they have also done blind taste tests and people have not been able to differentiate what is authentic meat from this new meat produced in this way, they were unable to distinguish synthetic from traditional meat.
Another issue with synthetic meat is that I suppose they can put anything in, that is, there will be synthetic meat because without amino acids, without toxins, with vitamin in one way, vitamin in another, there you can play with a lot of factors it will be It is much easier to add or remove things from synthetic meat than from natural meat. Furthermore, there are many substances associated with real meat that cannot be synthesized. Although it would be interesting, I would not try it. Human beings did not evolve eating this “meat.” ”.
But it would be a good solution for certain issues such as eating in space, currently, this product, these new chops are not cheaper than real meat, it is still relatively expensive, it would be at $9 per kilo, it would be there in the competition of prices because you have to then add intermediaries for sale, etc., I don't think you could launch them on the market and have them be cheaper than normal lamb chops.
Here we come to the question, would I eat these synthetic Lamb meat chops.
