Researchers hope to commercialize in vitro meat in five years – Digital Journal

 A team of Dutch invesigadores who managed to synthesize the first laboratory burger expects to begin selling the product within five years.
 
 

The challenge is made by the same team that two years ago, presented a prototype in London. But the cost to produce one burger was very high, at around 215 thousand pounds (about 292,000 euros). Scientists involved in the project have created a new company to turn to artificial meat in a hamburger that is, according to them, more tasty and cheap.

“I am confident that when it is offered as an alternative to meat, a number each increasing people will find it difficult not to buy our product for ethical reasons, “he told BBC director of the new company, Peter Verstrate.

” I think we put (the product) on the market in five years “said Professor Mark Post, who developed the artificial meat in laboratories at the University of Maastricht
