Meatable has reached a significant milestone in the cultivated meat industry, reducing the production time of fat and muscle tissue to just four days with its Opti-Ox technology. This achievement, which cuts cell differentiation time in half, not only speeds up the process but also reduces the number of bioreactors needed at scale. As a result, capital expenditure costs are lowered, and production space is utilized more efficiently.
Moreover, the streamlined process requires less labour, energy, infrastructure, ingredients, and water, making it more scalable and cost-efficient. Meatable emphasizes that these improvements also contribute to the sustainability of the process.
Daan Luining, co-founder and chief technical officer of Meatable, expressed his excitement about the development, stating, “This is truly a remarkable moment for Meatable and the cultivated meat industry as a whole, as we just made the fastest process in the industry that much faster. Achieving the ability to produce cultivated meat at scale and efficiency has been our goal from day one, and this step moves us significantly forward in fulfilling our promise.”
Meatable is committed to providing a sustainable meat solution without compromising animal welfare or the environment. The company’s dedication to cost efficiency at scale is evident in its reduction of cell differentiation time, paving the way for delivering products on a broader scale.
In addition to their advancements in cultivated meat production, Meatable recently submitted a dossier to the Dutch government for consideration to hold the first cultivated tastings in Europe. The company also has plans for expansion to the United States by 2025.
