Forget your Hook Line and Sinker we’ve started to 3D print fish products an Israeli foot tech company says it has 3D printed the first ever ready to cook fish fillet using animal cells cultivated and grown in a laboratory it’s really easy Israel’s stakeholder food has partnered with singapore-based Umami meat to make
Fish fillets how does it work Umami Meats first extracts cells for now from grouper and grows them into muscle and fat stakeholder Foods then adds them to a quote bio ink suited for special 3D printers the result a narrow fillet that mimics the properties of Sea called fish
Eric Kaufman is the chief executive of stakeholder Foods the flakiness is something that is much more easier to mimic and with our pattern protected printing capabilities we know to 3D print exactly the same texture and flakiness of a real fish they can say that here the process is clean it’s
Transparent the end product is antibiotics free and I assume that in the future we will understand the health benefits of of this cultivated meat products Umami hopes to bring its first products to the market in 2024 starting in Singapore and then in countries like the United States and Japan megumi Abigail
Yoshitomi is the representative director of Japan Association for cellular agriculture I can feel the same almost the same experiment experience of the fish structure in my mouth and I’m also um really Amazed by the juiciness and also the kind of a buttery feel in my mouth labcoran beef and chicken have been
Drawing attention as a way to sidestep the environmental tool of farming and Tackle concerns over Animal Welfare but few companies have forayed into seafood and while the process of creating lab-grown fish is simpler done with beef there’s still some disadvantages for one cow stem cells have been studied
Extensively but much less is known about fish says umami’s chief executive mihir per Shad we’ve managed to do it for grouper and for eel we have three other species in our pipeline that are also endangered sort of species that will be coming out with publicly in the next few
Months the price of fish from the sea is another key challenge we want consumers to choose based on how it tastes and what it can do for the for the world and for the planetary environment and we want to take cost off the table as a consideration
