However, despite the clamor of various businesses, will China people pay for artificial meat? China's food civilization has a long history and is rich and colorful, and everyone has a mysterious preference for eating habits. For example, fish must eat live fish, and chilled and frozen food can never reach the table of China people in batches. For artificial meat, meat can't be true or false. Can artificial meat overcome this market difficulty?
Some optimistic insiders believe that in the long run, consumers will pay more attention to eating healthier after solving the problem of eating enough. Artificial meat contains high protein and low fat, and is a good source food in protein. With people's attention to nutrition and health, vegetarian meat has a certain market base and consumer groups.
However, most experts say that it is still difficult to replace meat with artificial meat on a large scale. The reporter found that artificial meat is more like a commercial gimmick at present. Rui Liu, an associate researcher at the Institute of Food and Nutrition Development, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that to develop plant meat with similar senses to real meat products, it requires higher production technology. For clean meat cultured with animal cells or tissues, it simulates the physiological environment in vivo, so that the separated cells or tissues can survive, grow and maintain their structure under aseptic, moderate and nutritious conditions. At present, there are no mature products on the market, whether consumers can accept them is unknown, and the market prospect is also unknown.
