Injection Molding: The Key to the Ultimate Plant-Based Steak?

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem are developing a novel injection molding technique that combines metamaterials and low-temperature meat analogs to produce plant-based steaks. This method promises to significantly reduce production costs compared to traditional 3D printing, addressing scalability challenges in the alt-meat sector. The innovation could attract interest from agrifood investors and startups focused on sustainable protein alternatives.

Original excerpt: The tech combines two technologies: metamaterials—familiar materials with unique properties due to the way they are structured; and injection molding…
