It is possible to `` output artificial meat like steak '' with 3D printer



People who like meat dishes such as steak or grilled meat is supposed But often, in recent years in the 'animal husbandry has been released in large quantities of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, are accelerating the global warming' that the

problem There has been pointed out, that to stop global warming is to reduce the consumption of meat and dairy products claim has been deaf. Therefore, what attracts people's attention is `` artificial meat '' made of plant-based material, and a company called Novameat is developing a system that `` outputs artificial meat like steak with 3D printer '' .

Does this 3D printed 'steak' taste like the real thing?

Guiseppe Scionti, who worked as a bioengineer in Barcelona, Spain, said while studying the regeneration of tissues and organs using 3D printers, `` We can not make artificial meat using 3D printers. I thought. ' In 2018, Scionti launched Novameat and was granted a patent for a technology that extruded plant-derived ingredients through small holes to form a layer resembling ultra-thin muscle fibers.

The existing artificial meat industry has been paying attention to minced artificial meat used for hamburger patties and hamburgers. Even at the time of writing the article, minced artificial meat

boasts high quality . On the other hand, it seems that it was difficult to reproduce the texture and appearance of steak-shaped artificial meat that was cut directly.

However, Scionti said that by developing a technology to output plant-based ingredients in very thin fibrous form, he reproduced the texture and appearance close to the original meat of animals. 'We extrude plant-based materials as micro-sized fibers so that plant-based steaks have the texture and appearance of real beef steaks,' Scionti commented. Chris Kerr, an investor backing Novameat, points out that there is no thick steak or fish fillet in the world of plant-based artificial meat, and artificial meat that feels meat fiber is a major selling point for consumers. I think it can be.



On March 10, 2020, Scionti demonstrated at a cooking school in Barcelona using an artificial meat forming 3D printer developed by Novameat. In the movie below, you can see how Novameat's artificial meat formation 3D printer outputs artificial meat and the appearance of the artificial meat actually output.

'I'm Giuseppe Scionti. I'm the founder and CEO of Novameat,' says Scionti, who is preceded by a 3D printer that outputs artificial meat.



The 3D printer outputs plant-derived components like thin fibers and superimposes them to reproduce muscle fibers.



The layer is formed by stacking fibers, and the pattern approaches the original meat. Scionti claims that the artificial meat thus formed will have the same appearance and texture as the original meat.



At first glance, I don't think I'm making meat as food.



Take out the artificial meat output in this way ...



It can be baked in a frying pan and eaten as it is.



Scionti bake artificial meat with a beep. In addition, it seems that it took about 20 minutes to output artificial meat of this size.



When the meat is baked ...



It's time to eat.

I nodded many times with a smile. According to a cooking school student who tasted the artificial meat this time, it was worth waiting for 20 minutes for the artificial meat to output, and some students answered that it was 'a favorite taste'.



According to Novameat, the cost required to output approximately 900 g of artificial meat is $ 30 (about 3100 yen), and costs are expected to decrease as the scale of production increases. Scionti expects Novameat's artificial meat-forming 3D printer to be delivered to restaurants, but hopes to develop a home version in the future. 'Imagine a future where someone could have this machine at home and make customized food in the kitchen,' Scionti said.
