Improving the Safety of Cultured Meat Using Basal Medium Prepared using Food Ingredients

Abstract

Currently, meat production involves environmental issues and high costs; one solution to address this may be to produce meat via cell culture. Therefore, there is an urgent demand for the development of cell culture methods that replace raw materials with food materials to produce cultured meat as food. In this study, we designed food-grade-Dulbeccos Modified Eagles Medium (FG-DMEM); when the cells cultured in FG-DMEM and regular DMEM were compared, there was no significant difference in cell growth or differentiation. Therefore, FG-DMEM can be used for research and safe production of cultured meat.
