Abstract:Modern food technology has given rise to numerous alternative protein sources in response to a growing human population and the negative environmental impacts of current food systems. To aid in achieving global food security, one such form of alternative protein being investigated is cultivated meat, which applies the principles of mechanical and tissue engineering to produce animal proteins and meat products from animal cells. Herein, nonmodified and methacrylated whey protein formed hydrogels with methacryla… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
