Cultured meat is the solution to reduce resources used in traditional meat production. It helps produce meat without killing livestock and decrease unnecessary residue. This process requires three-dimensional scaffold for the cell attachment and the formation of artificial meat including natural textures. To achieve the goal of cultured meat, the scaffold material should not be derived from animal products as well. Therefore, this study aims to investigate mechanical properties, rheology, biocompatibility and cell attachment of 2% w/v alginate, 0.8% w/v agarose and 1.5% w/v carboxymethyl cellulose hydrogel. The structures of hydrogel were printed, and the suitable printing conditions were examined.…

The cultured meat is the solution to reduce resources using in a traditional meat production. It helps produce meat without killing livestock and decrease residue products. The method could also integrate with scaffold’s material which does not derive from animal products. This study aims to investigate the effects of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and apple powder on printability and cytotoxicity as additives in alginate/agarose-based hydrogel. 3D structures of them were printed to find a proper printing condition. From our experiments, the structure could maintain their shapes and uniform line sizes for carboxylmethyl cellulose, but not for apple powder at the 2%…
