Successful Cultivated Meat Test
BSF (LSE: BSFA; OTCQB: BSFAF), the Main Market listed biotech
company and the owner of pioneering UK-based clinical and cellular
agriculture company 3D Bio-Tissues, is pleased to announce that it
has successfully produced a further two full-scale fillets of
cultivated pork, as well as a cultivated pork strip, which were
presented at a technical event on Friday 25 May 2023.
The cultivated pork fillets each measured 5 cm in diameter, 3 cm
in height, and circa 60 g in weight, making them similar in size to
traditional 2-ounce tenderloin steaks. This time, the Company had
worked on increasing the thickness of the fillet in comparison to
the fillet produced in January this year. In addition, the Company
produced a cultivated pork strip, or 'noodle' measuring circa 30 cm
in length and 1 cm in diameter. The development of the pork strip
demonstrates the effectiveness of the Company's intellectual
property in being applied to produce meat in the future as a
consumer-ready, 'pre-sliced' form for cooking purposes.
The cultivated meat products were produced using 3DBT's
patented, serum-free and animal-free cell booster City-Mix(TM) ,
which eliminates the requirement of conventional plant-based
scaffolds, blends or fillers, as have been universally adopted by
the industry to date to ensure structural integrity of cultivated
meat products. 3DBT's products are therefore 100% structured meat,
produced without any animals suffering in its production.
The latest iteration of 100% meat products underwent testing,
with data collected and study participants invited to inspect the
product in a raw and cooked state. Study participants were limited
to those persons who had a direct working relationship or
involvement with the Company. The cultivated meat fillets were then
pan-fried and presented formally by a trained, independent chef,
while the meat strip was first cut in two portions, and
subsequently poached or pan-fried, in order to test an array of
cooking methods. The chef's involvement was key to demonstrating
that the cultivated meat could be handled and cooked in the same
way as traditional meat, and the results were very positive.
The Company is pleased to confirm that the 100% cultivated meat
products were very similar in appearance to conventional meat in
their raw state, with fibres clearly visible. The results from
cutting and cooking the fillets were also consistent with the
previous results in terms of overall appearance, aroma and
searing/crisping. The Study participants that tasted the cultivated
meat provided very positive feedback in terms of its taste and
texture.
Che Connon, Managing Director of BSF Enterprise and CEO at 3D
Bio Tissues, commented: "We have gained a huge amount of valuable
knowledge from testing our products with a trained chef and we were
reassured to observe that our cultivated meat is able to be handled
and cooked in the same way as traditional meat products. Further,
data collected from the study participants indicated comparable
meat qualities to traditional pork meat, which was very pleasing
and highly validating of our work. This gives us further confidence
as we continue our conversations with potential customers to
licence out the technologies demonstrated as well as building on
the agreements already secured."
