Among the 2018 emerging technologies selected by Scientific American, artificial meat technology is selected along with artificial intelligence, gene-driven technology, and quantum computer algorithms. It is reported that the selection criteria include great benefits to society and the economy. Technology is still in the early stages of development, but it attracts a large number of groups for research.
Artificial meat stems from people's 'unbearable' in the plundering of nature: the livestock that consume a lot of people's efforts often enter only human consumption processes, and it is the original intention to cultivate these parts or to imitate the meaty taste. With the gradual deepening of this industry, it has been found that artificial meat gradually shows more benefits. Like more and more people are concerned about environmental pollution, drug abuse will eventually flow into the human body along with the food chain. This kind of troubles. Coupled with the formation of some artificial meat in the laboratory environment, it seems that with the attention of people in the current era of health and environmental protection, the future artificial meat industry is bound to have more ambitious prospects. So what equipment do you need to prepare for this emerging industry?
Soybean drawing protein production line produces good meat taste
In our country, there have been rumors that Buddhism can make vegetables with fleshy, meaty, meaty fake meat. The use of plants to produce meat flavors of various types of meat products in spicy strips, mala Tang It is also very common. The artificial meat evolved from plants is of high quality, and is popular among vegetarians and snacks for ordinary people.
In general, soybeans are processed into a silk protein by equipment, and various seasonings can produce meat flavors such as chicken flavor, pork flavor, beef flavor, etc. Therefore, the production of vegetarian meat is inseparable from the soybean silk protein production line. The soybean drawing protein production line is generally composed of a powder mixing machine, a screw feeder, a twin-screw extruder, a cutter, a wind conveyor, a dryer, a cooling conveyor, etc. The soybean raw materials are mixed by the cooperation of these devices. Homogenization, pulverization and kneading, cooking and aging, extrusion molding, etc., so that soybeans produce layered muscle fiber structure in the production process, forming a meat fiber texture.
3D printing equipment perfect replica meat
As a technology that can perfectly reproduce objects in 3D stereo space, 3D printing is gradually being used by the food circle. The original 3D printing is mostly used for personalization of food. The use of 3D printing into artificial meat production is mainly utilized. It can use the biological cell count to produce the characteristics of the food.
Compared with the use of meat emulsion as a printing material to re-engraving meat, 3D printing artificial meat tablets is still a theoretical concept. It is reported that the active cells should be removed from the animals first, so that the active cells gradually multiply and separate, and then induce the cells to produce collagen. 3D printing The device intervenes at this time, stacking these cells and collagen in the style of artificial meat to produce artificial meat.
Laboratory equipment to cultivate artificial meat
In addition to the use of plants for artificial use, the use of laboratory equipment for meat cultivation in artificial meat is also a very popular category. The production of artificial meat in the laboratory mainly utilizes the splitting and reproductive performance of the animal and plant cells themselves, and provides a suitable temperature environment through the equipment. Promote the division and reproduction of cells, thus forming meat.
Laboratory equipment mainly includes bioreactors, cell culture fluids, etc. Among them, bioreactors need to imitate biological organisms to create an environment suitable for cell reproduction, while cell culture fluids mainly supply nutrients needed for cell reproduction. Currently, Many companies have succeeded in cultivating artificial meat, but because of the high cost, the meat taste is lacking and there is no widespread promotion. Therefore, most companies that are obsessed with artificial meat production in the laboratory are reducing the cost of cell cultivation and improving the taste of meat. Work hard.
Under the current situation of more and more environmental protection, some statistics have found that artificial meat is greatly improved compared with farmed livestock in terms of costing earth resources and producing polluting gases. Therefore, foreign companies continue to research and explore artificial meat. Trying to seize the market. But this field is not yet mature, so it is necessary to increase scientific research and talents in the early stage. Chinese enterprises may wish to conduct research on the basis of mechanical equipment.
