Large-scale animal agriculture is inefficient and damaging to humans, animals, and the environment. Demand for plant-based meat is soaring, but products still do not match the sensory properties and cooking performance of traditional meat. Plant-based meat is missing one crucial ingredient: real animal fat. Fat is the secret to delicious food. The plant oils used in many meat alternatives aren't a suitable substitute because they are structurally and chemically different to animal fat, resulting in a low melting temperature, poor taste and greasy mouthfeel. The world needs a clean source of real animal fat to create plant-based meats that look, cook and taste like the real thing. Hoxton Farms' cultivated fat, sold as a B2B ingredient, is the key to unlocking the next generation of meat alternatives. Their revolutionary technology platform combines mathematical modelling and synthetic biology to redesign mammalian cell-culture from the ground up and grow high-performance, cost-effective cultivated fat. This model-driven approach will produce cultivated fat at a lower cost than that of competitors, and will allow Hoxton Farms to offer customers exclusive fats with customised sensory, nutritional and cooking profiles.

大规模的畜牧业效率低下，对人类、动物和环境都有危害。对植物性肉类的需求正在飙升，但产品仍然无法与传统肉类的感官特性和烹饪性能相匹配。植物性肉类缺少一种关键成分：真正的动物脂肪。脂肪是美味食物的秘诀。许多肉类替代品中使用的植物油并不是合适的替代品，因为它们在结构和化学上与动物脂肪不同，导致熔点低，口感差，口感油腻。世界需要一种清洁的真正动物脂肪来源，来制造外观、烹饪和味道都像真肉的植物性肉类。霍克顿农场的人造脂肪作为B2B原料出售，是开启下一代肉类替代品的关键。他们革命性的技术平台结合了数学建模和合成生物学，从头开始重新设计哺乳动物细胞培养，并培养出高性能、低成本的培养脂肪。这种模型驱动的方法将以比竞争对手更低的成本生产人工脂肪，并使霍克顿农场能够为客户提供具有定制感官、营养和烹饪特征的独家脂肪。
