Abstract
Provided herein are methods of making a comestible cell-based meat composition where the method includes cooling the cell mass from a growth temperature to a temperature below a growth temperature; harvesting at least a portion of the cell mass; de-wetting the harvested cell mass with mechanically-generated pressure; forming the cell-based meat composition into a fillet; and optionally processing the fillet under high pressure, until the comestible cell-based meat composition satisfies a texture profile criteria.
Claims20
A method of making a comestible cell-based meat food product, comprising:
- a. culturing a cell mass in cell culture media;
- b. harvesting at least a portion of the cell mass to form a harvested cell mass;
- c. cooling the cell mass or harvested cell mass from a growth temperature to a temperature below the growth temperature either prior to, concurrent with, or after the harvesting step;
- andd. de-wetting the harvested cell mass,
- wherein, after the de-wetting step, the cell mass is suitable for forming into a food product.
