Large-scale animal agriculture is inefficient and damaging to humans, animals, and the environment. Demand for plant-based meat is soaring, but products still do not match the sensory properties and cooking performance of traditional meat. Plant-based meat is missing one crucial ingredient: real animal fat.Fat is the secret to delicious food. The plant oils used in many meat alternatives aren't a suitable substitute because they are structurally and chemically different to animal fat, resulting in a low melting temperature, poor taste and greasy mouthfeel. The world needs a clean source of real animal fat to create plant-based meats that look, cook and taste like the real thing.Hoxton Farms' cultivated fat, sold as a B2B ingredient, is the key to unlocking the next generation of meat alternatives. Their revolutionary technology platform combines mathematical modelling and synthetic biology to redesign mammalian cell-culture from the ground up and grow high-performance, cost-effective cultivated fat. This model-driven approach will produce cultivated fat at a lower cost than that of competitors, and will allow Hoxton Farms to offer customers exclusive fats with customised sensory, nutritional and cooking profiles.

大规模的动物农业对人类，动物和环境的效率低下且有害。对植物性肉类的需求飙升，但产品仍然不符合传统肉类的感官特性和烹饪性能。基于植物的肉缺少一种至关重要的成分：真正的动物脂肪。脂肪是美味佳肴的秘诀。许多肉类替代品中使用的植物油不是合适的替代品，因为它们在结构和化学上与动物脂肪不同，导致温度低，味道差和油腻的口感。世界需要一个干净的真正动物脂肪来产生植物性的肉类，看起来，烹饪和味道像真实的东西。HoxtonFarms的培养脂肪（作为B2B成分出售）是解锁下一代肉类替代品的关键。他们的革命性技术平台将数学建模和合成生物学结合在一起，从头开始重新设计哺乳动物细胞培养，并增加高性能，具有成本效益的培养脂肪。这种模型驱动的方法将以比竞争对手低的成本产生培养的脂肪，并允许Hoxton Farms为客户提供具有自定义感官，营养和烹饪配置文件的独家脂肪。
