NEW DELHI: South Korean scientists have grown beef cells in rice grains to exchange farmed cattle for meat consumption and obtain an environmentally pleasant supply of protein.Professor Jinkee Hong who led the analysis has stated that “beef rice” is the primary product of its sort because it makes use of grain particles as the bottom for cultivating animal muscle and fats cells.The researchers at Yonsei College handled rice grains with enzymes to create an acceptable surroundings for cell development earlier than infusing it with bovine cells which are cultivated to realize a closing hybrid product, resembling pinkish rice grain.”If successfully developed into food products, cultured beef rice could serve as a sustainable protein source, particularly in environments where traditional livestock farming is impractical,” the Yonsei crew stated.Hong stated that the protein is eighteen per cent animal-based which makes the meat rice wealthy supply of important amino acids. Apart from that, it incorporates round 8% extra protein and seven% extra fats than common rice.Nevertheless, this isn’t the primary time that an experiment has been performed on lab-grown meat merchandise. Plant-based rooster and eel cultivated from a soy base have already discovered a spot within the Singapore market. “Beef rice” researchers stated that it will be comparatively extra helpful than soy and nuts as fewer are allergic to it.Priced at about $2 per kilogramme (2.2 lbs) and with a much smaller carbon footprint than conventional beef merchandise, cultured beef rice may compete on grocery cabinets, Hong stated.Keum Dong-kyu, who sampled the rice beef at Seoul’s Korean barbecue restaurant, referred to as the concept progressive.”But honestly, I don’t think it can replicate the juiciness or texture of real beef,” Keum stated.(With Reuters inputs)
