Special Issue Information

The current COVID-19 pandemic has created an urgent need for alternative technology for livestock and forest encroachment issues for meat/protein sources. This Special Issue highlights the importance of in vitro meat which will be an alternative solution. The need of the hour is solving human health issues stemming from emerging infectious diseases, as well as forest encroachment for the sake of livestock expansion, animal welfare, and global demand for animal meat. Despite efforts linked to animal livestock production, the global burden is increased without satisfying the global meat demands. Thus, in vitro meat is a promising technological solution which helps in animal welfare, reduction in emerging infectious diseases, proper utilization of land and other available resources, and environmental benefits.

Due to a proportionally increasing population and food demands, the food industry has come up with wide innovations, opportunities, and possibilities to manufacture meat under in vitro conditions. The amalgamation of cell culture and tissue engineering has been the base idea for the development of the synthetic meat, and this has been proposed to be a pivotal study for a futuristic muscle development program in the medical field. With improved microbial and chemical advancements, in vitro meat matched the conventional meat and is proposed to be eco-friendly, healthy, nutrient rich, and ethical. Despite the success, there are several challenges associated with the utilization of materials in synthetic meat manufacture, which demands regulatory and safety assessment systems to manage the risks associated with the production of cultured meat. The role of 3D bioprinting meat analogues enables a better nutritional profile and sensorial values. The integration of nanosensors in the bioprocess of culture meat eased the quality assessment throughout the food supply chain and management. Multidisciplinary approaches such as mathematical modelling, computer fluid dynamics, and biophotonics coupled with tissue engineering will be promising aspects to envisage the future prospective of this technology and make it available to the public at economically feasible rates.
