Scientists create meat from plants

It is no different from the natural, but in the only vegetables and cereals.

Scientists are working on a completely edible meat analogue . And it is not about soy substitutes , and full-fledged alternative to animal protein derived from plants. As the developers say , the taste , texture and appearance of the new meat is completely different from the original. But in fact, be composed exclusively of vegetable ingredients.  

Apart from the obvious benefit to the animals , the synthesis of the "green" meat, according to experts, will make food production more environmentally friendly . In addition , many Europeans have long been mentally prepared to give up eating meat .  

As the initiator of the project Florian Wilde from the Fraunhofer Institute : "Our goal - to provide a substitute for meat plant on an industrial scale . It should be juicy , flavorful and stringy like real meat . Another important long- term storage and relatively low cost. In an ideal substitute will not only vegetarians , but also allergies . "  

in development that could revolutionize the world food industry , officers participate Vienna University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Wageningen University and 11 small companies engaged in food .   Now

artificial vegetable meat has already been created in the laboratory and is a sheet thickness of 1 cm per hour in the experimental mini- laboratory of the University turns 60-70 kilograms substitute . Consistency and quality of the product , scientists are quite happy .
