Model-driven de-novo lipogenesis for optimised production of cultivated fat, the hero ingredient for next-generation meat-alternative products

大规模的畜牧业效率低下，对人类、动物和环境都有损害。对植物性肉类的需求正在飙升，但产品仍然不符合传统肉类的感官特性和烹饪性能。植物肉缺少一种关键成分：真实的动物脂肪。脂肪是美味食物的秘密。许多肉类替代品中使用的植物油不是合适的替代品，因为它们在结构和化学上与动物脂肪不同，导致熔点低，味道差和油腻。世界需要一种干净的真实的动物脂肪来源，以创造出外观、烹饪和味道都像真实的东西的植物性肉类。霍克斯顿农场的种植脂肪，作为B2B成分出售，是解锁下一代肉类替代品的关键。他们的革命性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、高性价比的培养脂肪。这种模型驱动的方法将以比竞争对手更低的成本生产人造脂肪，并将使霍克斯顿农场能够为客户提供具有定制感官、营养和烹饪特性的独家脂肪。

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.
