Cultured meat from stem cells

Abstract

This thesis has discussed why alternative processes of meat production need to be explored, how cultured meat can be developed and what challenges and benefits cultured meat faces in regard to further development. This thesis focused on environmental and social aspects that could be improved upon with the use of cultured meat. The types of stem cells used for tissue culturing, the appropriate medium to culture the tissue in and the role of the bioreactor were discussed. The types of scaffold.
