Animal-free Meat Biofabrication

Meat & Animal Product Safety

In the last 40 years a number of modern techniques for improving animal lines have been developed. Artificial insemination has already had an enormous impact on the dairy industry. Techniques such as in vitro fertilization, embryo cloning, nuclear transplantation and transgenesis are reaching maturity. These techniques and their potential effects on the environment, genetic diversity, animal pr...

Electrophoresis-Based Proteomic Meat Animal Research

In this review, some of the limitations and issues related to current popular proteomic approaches will be discussed and a case will be made for the benefits of using one-dimensional electrophoresis-based proteomics for agricultural study setups. One-dimensional electrophoresis-based proteomics has an important advantage over conventional two-dimensional proteomic technologies because they are ...

Animal meat products, processing and the consumer.

Changes in consumer demand for meat are part of changing life-styles caused by technical and economic developments. The increasing application of technology to procurement, manufacture and distribution has provided a range of meat products of unprecedented variety and quality. The species acceptable as meat are limited by tradition, but they are becoming increasingly interchanged as sources of ...

Consumers' motivation for eating free-range meat or less meat

The present paper analyzed the motivational orientations of consumers who choose to eat (1) small portions of meat or (2) ethically distinctive meat, such as free-range meat, in relation to the motivational orientations of their opposites. Going beyond the conventional approach to consumer behavior, our work builds on recent insights in motivational psychology about the ways in which people may...
