Hamburger and culture breastfeeding made with 3D food printer!? "Food Tech" One book introducing the forefront

"What is happening in the future of" food "? Awesome world of" food tech "(youth new book Intelligency 635)" Shinichi Ishikawa Seishun Publisher

　"Foodtech" has been attracting much attention in recent years. A coined word that combines "food" and "technology", trying to expand the potential of new foods using cutting -edge technology. It is expected that the market size will grow to 700 trillion yen in the future. The forefront of such a food tech is Shinichi Ishikawa's "What is happening in the future of" food " -amazing world of" Foodtech "." If you read the book, you will be surprised how many kinds of developments are being done on a global scale. First of all, instead of meat, the most powerful is "alternative protein". This is broadly divided into "culture meat" and "alternative meat". Culture meat is an artificial meat that is made by taking out a small amount of cells from muscles such as livestock and fish and culturing tissue outside the body. Mr. Ishikawa wrote that it is not yet permitted in Japan, and "if it becomes more" meat "in the future, it is likely that demand will increase when it looks more" meat "," says Ishikawa. Currently, the market size in Japan is growing rapidly in vegetable alternative flesh. Soybean meat products are also sold at major supermarkets and are spreading to ordinary households. But looking at the world, you can see that alternative meat is evolving further. In 2021, the Israeli company "Lydy Fine Meat" was released on alternative flesh using a 3D food printer. They use plant -derived materials as inks, print them three -dimensionally, and create hamburgers, ground cow, and sausages. At the tasting party, 90 % of people who could not distinguish from real meat could be seen. Like beef cow, breeding dairy cows also have a heavy load on the global environment. Therefore, California's "Perfect Day" created "culture milk". Using genetic microorganisms, milk protein is generated and extracted to add necessary nutrients such as fat and plant -based carbohydrates, and it has a milk -like flavor and taste. Furthermore, "culture breast milk" is focusing on Israeli's company "biomilk" with cultured milk. It contains all the same ingredients as real breast milk, and it is said that samples will be shown this year. In the near future, if it is commercialized, it may help people all over the world suffering from breast milk.......! In addition, in the world of fisheries, various developments such as alternative fish, complete aquaculture, and genome editing are being developed, insects, silkworms, algae, etc. are attracting attention as new protein sources, and research to save the shortage of food resources in the future. Is done every day. In addition, food tech is expanding besides food development. In the field of agriculture, the introduction of robot agricultural machinery that does not ride in the driver's seat, and spraying pesticides using drones are already commonplace. The ultimate future image of "Agriculture x Technology" is a "space farm", so dreams spread. Looking at the family, products using IT technology, such as smart cooking equipment and fully automatic cooking robots, are appearing one after another. Helsstec, which supports health by utilizing AI and wearable devices, is expected to develop further as an application for food tech. The same book is introduced as much as the forefront of Hoodtech. Please take a look at the world of food that is changing dramatically what kind of future is spreading. [Sento / Saginomiya Yayo]
