Why is artificial meat lower in calories than pork?

Many people in the industry said in an interview with Xinhua Viewpoint that artificial meat is just an expression that is convenient for the public to understand. Strictly speaking, artificial meat refers to vegetable protein meat and clean meat, and some are also called vegetarian meat and test-tube meat. Vegetable protein meat, or vegetable meat or vegetarian meat, is made of vegetable protein raw materials, mainly soybean protein, wheat protein and pea protein, and phytohemoglobin synthesized by yeast.

Clean meat is a kind of myoblast or totipotent stem cell isolated from animals, which is cultivated in nutrient solution to promote it to form muscle-like tissue, and its appearance and taste are similar to traditional meat. Jaco, a researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Products Processing of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that researchers in the United States and the Netherlands have made a breakthrough in the research of this product, which is called clean meat or test-tube meat.

The taste of artificial meat is similar to that of ordinary meat, but the calories are lower and higher in protein. ? Employees who tried to eat said that the toughness of artificial meat was not as good as that of real meat, but the taste was good. ? Some people say that it feels like real meat when chewed, but the texture of the meat is not so tight and the taste is close to real meat. ? According to Zhang Jiasheng, the gold medal chef of fast food catering, a partner of Taobao Creation Festival, the energy of artificial meat is slightly lower than that of ordinary meat in terms of nutritional components. People who don't like meat, such as young people who are afraid of being fat, pay more attention to their bodies and can meet the needs of these people.

Because artificial meat is made of some vegetable protein raw materials, the calories of artificial meat are not so high compared with ordinary pork.
