    MuscleFuel will reach proof of concept of the use of porcine blood and microalgae as nutrient for cultivated meat through six research and development work packages and one management and dissemination work package
    WP1 Collection of blood and microalgae biomass
    WP2 Fractionation of biomass for hydrolysis
    WP3 Targeted hydrolysis of biomass fractions using AI and enzyme engineering
    WP4 Screening of nutrients as resources for proliferation of satellite cell culture
    WP5 Characterization of nutrients

  2. Network - Feed stock industry for cell cultured food production

    Jette F Young , Lotte Bach Larsen & Nina Aagaard Poulsen

    Within the next 5-10 years it is expected that cell-based food production will reach price parity and hit the mass market. Thus, it is important to create a value chain for a new Danish industry of food grade growth media at industrial scale. The task is complex, long lasting, goes across science disciplines and technologies. Thus, this Network will mobilize and bring together the Danish resource baseDescription
