Singapore-based cultivated meat start-up Meatiply recently debuted the first smoked duck breast meat in Asia using cells and plant-based ingredients. Thanks to its makeup of multiple cell types, including muscle and fat, the product closely resembles the taste and texture of conventional meat. And since these prototypes are structured, they will help with offering a wider range of products, as opposed to a mince only.
The innovative food-tech start-up also revealed two other structured meat prototypes: kampong chicken yakitori and chicken katsu bites. "To date, we have developed prototypes with three different species, with at least two more in the pipeline. These three prototypes are just the beginning," said Dr. Jason Chua, Chief Scientific Officer & Co-founder of Meatiply.

Trend Themes
1. Cultivated Meat Products - The use of cultivated meat and plant-based ingredients creates opportunities for new meat products with different textures and flavors.
2. Structured Meat Prototypes - Creating structured meat prototypes with multiple cell types can enable the development of a wider range of meat products.
3. Alternative Meat Sources - Developing alternative meat sources, such as cultivated meat, can disrupt the traditional meat industry and offer new options for consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Food-tech - The use of technology to create new food products can revolutionize the way food is produced and consumed.
2. Meat Production - The meat industry can benefit from the development of alternative meat sources as consumers become more interested in environmentally sustainable and ethical food options.
3. Plant-based Food - Incorporating plant-based ingredients into meat products can lead to new and innovative plant-based food options.
