Project Eaden Unveils Highly Realistic Alt Meat Tech, Extends Seed Round to €10.1M
Berlin-based food tech startup Project Eaden has revealed an innovative fibre technology that it claims can exactly replicate the texture and appearance of animal meat. The scalable technology is similar to that used to produce synthetic fibres, but Project Eaden has adapted it to use pea protein and other organic materials. The technology allows the properties of the fibres, such as elasticity, water binding ability, and strength, to be precisely designed. The resulting fibres, which are just 100 micrometres thick, can be bundled to replicate muscle strands. They can then be combined with vegetable fats to produce highly realistic marbled plant-based meat. Currently the startup is focusing on a steak alternative as its debut product launch. “Our ultimate goal is to offer consumers a product …
