Abstract
Cultured meat is under investigation as an environmentally sustainable substitute for conventional animal-derived meat. Employing a scaffolding technique is one approach to developing cultured meat products. The objective of this research was to compare soy and pea protein in the production of hydrogel scaffolds intended for cultured meat. We examined the gelation process, physical characteristics, and the ability of scaffolds to facilitate cell adhesion using mesenchymal stem cells derived from porcine adipose tissue (ADSCs). The combination of soy and pea proteins with agarose and agar powders was found to generate solid hydrogels with a porous structure. Soy protein-based scaffolds exhibited a higher water absorption rate, whereas scaffolds containing agarose had a higher compressive strength. Based on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis, the number of hydrophobic interactions increased between proteins and polysaccharides in the scaffolds containing pea proteins. All scaffolds were nontoxic toward ADSCs, and soy protein-based scaffolds displayed higher cell adhesion and proliferation properties. Overall, the soy protein-agarose scaffold was found to be optimal for cultured meat production.
