New bioreactor design tackles one of cultivated meat’s toughest challenges
Plus, Bel Group and Standing Ovation unlock new value from dairy by-products, catchfree raises CHF1.2 million in seed round, Moolec Science to merge with Bioceres Group entities in major bioeconomy deal, and more!
It’s always exciting when we see new ideas pushing technical limits – and this week, a team of researchers may have just made one of the most promising breakthroughs in cultivated meat to date. Their hollow fiber bioreactor system shows real potential for scalable, structured tissue biofabrication – a major step forward in whole-cut production.
Elsewhere, a new precision fermentation project is unlocking surprising value from what would otherwise be dairy waste. Could this be the start of a smarter, more circular approach to functional ingredient development?
On the analytical front, a high-performance nitrogen analyzer took top honors at a major global conference. Its modular design and streamlined workflow caught the attention of judges and labs alike.
In other developments, commercial-scale spirulina-based smoked salmon is now on the market. As algae-based options diversify, it’s worth watching how consumers respond to more familiar formats.
Meanwhile, a plant-based seafood brand has secured fresh funding to launch its range locally. With new retail partnerships lined up, is this the beginning of a broader alt-seafood push in continental Europe?
In manufacturing news, a dual-continent strategy is coming into view for one precision fermentation company, with new production capacity in South Asia and distribution support secured in Europe.
Turning to human health, a study from the US shows that vegan and omnivorous diets can be equally effective for muscle building – provided total protein intake is matched. Might this help shift some outdated assumptions in sports nutrition?
And finally, new data out of Australia links plant protein intake with longer life expectancy. While correlation isn’t causation, it’s another reason to reflect on how protein source might shape long-term health outcomes.
