Industrial production of meat using cell culture methods

Patent Number: 7,270,829

This patent teaches what a friend of mine used to call the notion of "biobeef". The concept of generating edible meat through tissue culture. The patent has one independent claim which essentially covers the use of cultured cells to generate a three dimensional tissue that can be eaten that does not require "deboning, removal of offal and/or tendon and/or gristle and/or fat".

This patent may be useful for long-term space flights, as well as generation of designer foods.
