Imagine healthier plant-based meat alternatives that offer the texture, flavour, and appearance of animal proteins. Using innovations in enzymatic processing, we develop new protein texturizing technologies that create healthier plant-based products that mimic the texture of animal proteins. The texture of plant-based protein products still poses a barrier to convincing consumers to adopt alternatives to meat. But current approaches to creating plant-based meat substitutes are falling short in building a protein structure that mirrors a meaty texture experience. We help plant-based protein producers satisfy consumers’ desire for meaty texture and appearance. By improving texture, our techniques enhance the eating experience as well as the nutritional profile of plant-based products. The result: a more convincing, satisfying, and healthy alternative to replace animal-based foods.

Today's meat industry is facing increasing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint. There will be more than 2 billion people born by 2050 whom we need to feed and farming is already at full capacity, emitting 21% of global CO2, causing 40% of global deforestation. Lab-grown meat is one of these emerging global industries that can deliver a slaughter-free new protein source, with 90% less greenhouse gas emissions, and water and land use. However, one of the major problems the cultivated meat industry is facing is the high production cost at a large-scale. At Smart MCs, we develop smart microcarriers and complementary technologies that would enable cultivated meat companies to scale up their production, lower their costs and minimise their cell loss.
