  2. Cultured meat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultured_meat

    Culture media are typically formulated from basal media that provide cells with necessary carbohydrates, fats, proteins and salts. Once a cell consumes a sufficient amount, it divides and the population increases exponentially. Culture media can be supplemented with additives—for instance sera—that supply additional growth factors.

  3. Rendering (animal products) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering_(animal_products)

    The second stage further separates the fat from the water. The solids may be used in food products, pet foods, etc., depending on the original materials. The separated fat may be used in food products, or if in surplus, may be diverted to soap making operations. Most edible rendering is done by meat packing or processing companies.

  4. Protein metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_metabolism

    Absorbed amino acids are typically used to create functional proteins, but may also be used to create energy. [3] They can also be converted into glucose. [4] This glucose can then be converted to triglycerides and stored in fat cells. [5] Proteins can be broken down by enzymes known as peptidases or can break down as a result of denaturation ...

  5. Biosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosynthesis

    A particular biosynthetic pathway may be located within a single cellular organelle (e.g., mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis pathways), while others involve enzymes that are located across an array of cellular organelles and structures (e.g., the biosynthesis of glycosylated cell surface proteins).

  6. Meat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meat

    Fat in meat can be either adipose tissue, used by the animal to store energy and consisting of "true fats" (esters of glycerol with fatty acids), [25] or intramuscular fat, which contains phospholipids and cholesterol. [25] Meat can be broadly classified as "red" or "white" depending on the concentration of myoglobin in muscle fiber.

    By choosing lean cuts over fatty ones, you'll be saving yourself extra fat and calories and instead be filling up on protein and nutrients. Have no fear meat-eaters, we've gathered the best and ...

  8. Protein biosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_biosynthesis

    Protein biosynthesis (or protein synthesis) is a core biological process, occurring inside cells, balancing the loss of cellular proteins (via degradation or export) through the production of new proteins. Proteins perform a number of critical functions as enzymes, structural proteins or hormones.

  9. Fatty acid synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_synthesis

    A young adult human's fat stores average between about 15–20 kg (33–44 lb), but varies greatly depending on age, sex, and individual disposition. [10] In contrast, the human body stores only about 400 g (0.9 lb) of glycogen , of which 300 g (0.7 lb) is locked inside the skeletal muscles and is unavailable to the body as a whole.
