KFC will print in Russia chicken nuggets on the bioprinter

2020: Cooperation with 3D Bioprinting Solutions on development of technology of creation of chicken meat using 3D - the bioprinter

On July 16, 2020 Zdrav.Expert became known that KFC begins in Russia cooperation with laboratory of the technical researches 3D Bioprinting Solutions on development of technology of creation of chicken meat using 3D - the bioprinter. The idea of craft "future meat" arose at partners as the response to growth of popularity of a healthy lifestyle and, as a result, a power supply, annual increase in demand for alternative substitutes of traditional meat and the need for development of more eco-friendly methods of production of foodstuff. The chicken nuggets created in laboratory which to taste and appearance will be as close as possible to the original product KFC will become result of development, but thus will be more eco-friendly in comparison with normal meat. Partners are going to receive a ready-made product for testing in the fall of 2020 in Moscow.

Within the Solutions 3D Bioprinting project, one of representatives in area of bioprinting, will develop technology of three-dimensional bioprinting using cages of chicken and vegetable raw materials who will allow to reproduce taste and texture of chicken meat practically without participation in this process of animals. KFC will provide all necessary ingredients - a breading and spices - for achievement of corporate taste of an end product. For July 16, 2020 in the market there are no analogs of technology of three-dimensional bioprinting, allowing to create complex products on the basis of animal cages.

The method of bioprinting has several advantages. So, craft meat contains the same microelements, as normal, but by its production hit in an end product of the different additives admissible in traditional farming and livestock production therefore products on the basis of cellular meat more environmentally friendly and more ethic - by their production harming animals is excluded is excluded. Along with this KFC remains to the committed principles of care of animals and works on permanent improvement of keeping of a bird on farms and throughout all supply chain, including cultivation, transportation and processing.

Also, according to a research of the American magazine Environmental Science & Technology Journal, the technology of cultivation of cellular meat makes the minimum negative impact on the environment, allowing to reduce amount of the consumed energy more than twice, to reduce emissions of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere by 25 times and to use 100 times less earth, than at cultivation of animals for production of traditional meat products.

We in KFC watch closely trends and innovations and constantly we implement technologies at restaurants of network, responding to time requests. Production of products from cellular meat - the next step in development of our concept of "future restaurant". Development of 3D technology - bioprinting for creation of chicken products can promote the solution at once of several important problems which face mankind therefore we will work on making it available to thousands of people in Russia and, perhaps, even around the world - Raisa Polyakova, the CEO of KFC in Russia and the CIS says.

Technologies on the basis of 3D - bioprinting, initially gained recognition in medicine, gain the increasing popularity in the field of production of food, such as, for example, meat of animals. Development of such technologies in the future will allow to make the meat products printed on 3D - the bioprinter, more available, and we hope that created as a result of our cooperation with KFC technology will help to accelerate an output of similar products to the market, - Yusef Hesuani, the co-founder and the managing partner 3D Bioprinting Solutions says.

Scientists of the whole world work on finding the solution for uninterrupted providing increasing population of Earth with a power supply and decrease in a negative impact on the environment. Use of technologies on the basis of 3D - bioprinting can become one of the perspective directions in this area.
