The new product is a result of the company's recently
filed patent for 3D-bioprinting technology which allows
unprecedented marbling control within a consolidated
structure
REHOVOT, Israel, Sept. 7,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Steakholder Foods Ltd. (Nasdaq:
STKH), (formerly MeaTech 3D: $MITC) an international deep-tech food
company at the forefront of the cultured meat industry, is pleased
to introduce Omakase Beef Morsels, a revolutionary, richly
marbled structured meat product developed using a unique
3D-printing process.
Inspired by the marbling standard of Wagyu beef, Omakase Beef
Morsels are an innovative culinary achievement elegantly
designed as a meat lover's delicacy for premium dining experiences.
The product is made up of multiple layers of muscle and fat
tissue, which have been differentiated from bovine stem cells, and
showcases the technology's unprecedented control and flexibility.
Each layer is printed separately using two different bio-inks – one
for muscle and one for fat. The layers can be printed in a variety
of muscle/fat sequences which affects the juiciness and marbling of
the cut.
Steakholder Foods' technology can print the product with any
shape, width and marbling ratio and even exceed the marbling
precision reminiscent of the Wagyu beef standard. It can also
provide unprecedented product consistency at scale.
The company's provisional patent, "stacked, multi-layered
meat-emulating consumable," is the result of cutting-edge
bio-convergence with intensive collaboration between its
3D-printing engineers and cellular biologists.
This technological achievement, which follows a series of
ongoing advancements in the company's development of printed whole
cuts of meat, will likely position Steakholder Foods on the
frontline of the market once a regulatory road map is established
by the Food and Drug Administration.
Some of the company's advancements over the past
year:
- Largest ever 3.67 oz (104 grams) printed cultured steak
- Significant progress with acceleration and enhancement of
muscle fiber formation to mirror key characteristics of farm-raised
meat
- Development of unique multiple-nozzle modular printing head
that can produce complex meat products with pinpoint precision at
an industrial rate of production without impacting cell
viability
- Patent based on the development of systems and methods for
applying external forces to muscle tissue that result in the
creation of high-quality complex structured meat
Arik Kaufman, Steakholder
Foods' Chief Executive Officer: "This product marks a major
breakthrough for us and for the cultured meat sector in general. It
is the result of a lot of hard work and our desire to attain the
highest standard of meat possible through bioprinting and cell
cultivation processes. It also marks a significant milestone in our
quest to perfect the "holy grail" of meat — steak. We see
Omakase Beef Morsels at the intersection of food, technology
and fine art. We want to inspire chefs around the world to create
mouthwatering culinary masterpieces and unforgettable dining
experiences."
