The company developed an advanced process
using a filtering system to boost the yield of cell
production
REHOVOT, Israel, Jan. 25,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Steakholder Foods Ltd.
(NASDAQ: STKH), (formerly MeaTech 3D: MITC), an international
deep-tech food company at the forefront of the cultivated meat
industry, today announced that it has developed a process that has
achieved 50 times more growth in cell production yield than
previously. This breakthrough process uses a filtering system
integrated with the company's growth method and is expected to
result in greater outputs.
Achieving a high growth yield with minimal use of growth media
is an industry-wide goal, due to the current high cost of growth
media. Steakholder Foods is working to optimize its growth
methodologies, creating more scalable solutions that will enable
cell production at an industrial scale while lowering production
costs.
The filtering system maximizes the usage of growth media by
enabling the separation of cells from the media, continuously
removing the used media, and replacing it with fresh media. The
removed media can then be refreshed and reused to enable circular
solutions. The implementation of the filtering system has proved
highly successful for Steakholder Foods, sustainably boosting its
cell yields, and enabling the production of greater
quantities of cultivated meat, relative to the number of
materials used.
Orit Goldman, Ph.D., VP of
Biology at Steakholder Foods: "The Steakholder Foods' biology
team is pushing the boundaries of cell production methodologies to
optimize our yields and enable the food tech revolution."
