economic viability of cultured meat. A key challenge facing this goal is
high-cost recombinant albumin that is necessary in some available
serum-free media formulations. As such, there is substantial interest in
finding albumin alternatives which are low-cost, effective, scalable,
sustainable, and suitable for food applications. Recently, a serum-free
medium termed Beefy-9 was developed for bovine satellite cells …
