An alternative to researchers foie grasa lab a stress test
Thomas A. Vilgis
Foie gras French food could be more ethical, thanks to the way they metabolize fat on fatty birds, despite the processes of agricultural animals.
Foie gras is done in the liver of a duck or goose that feeds strength through a tube. As a result of this process, it is known as Gavage, the organs take 10 times his usual volume while the animal preserves excess fat.
According to researchers, the experience of eating foie gras is not in addition to having large fat content, even in the microscopic distribution of this fat.
Now Thomas Vilgis Mainz, at the Max Planck Institute for German Polymer Research, developed a new process that creates the same liver texture and the same texture that creates the same liver or goose texture using fats of the same bird.
“I am a fan of Foie Gras,” Vilgia says. “I was fascinated by this mouth. It has been so different from other patents, so I asked myself, what is it?”
His team tried before foie gras with the same fat and liver ratio, but the results were disappointing. In more experiments, collagen added to repeat the density of Foie Gras, but the rubber felt like his mouth.
Then Vilgis realized that the pancreas made by the force of strength stored in the liver before he realizes the enzyme before storing the liver, to save large fat molecules as a smaller crystal crystal.
He and his colleagues discovered that this process was repeated by treating Lipase Lehamia with an enzyme called Lipasa Candida Rugosa. “Lipas is a molecular scissor,” says Vilgia. The treated grease is mixed with the liver to create foie gras faux.
The team carried out many scientific tests, a nuclear resonance spectroscopy to compare Faux foie gras to real samples to compare the results. But basically, Viglis says smells and flavor “almost nothing”.
The process has been patented and the researchers talk about the industry about marketing and marketing a Foie Gras Foie.
Due to ethical concerns, and producing foie gras is traditionally illegal in some countries, including the United Kingdom, other alternative methods have developed this proclamation to produce similar results. They also bring at least two companies Lab-high foie gras market.
Dawn From people to the ethical treatment of animals (PETA), it is still a more ethical trajectory than the new process of Lipeas, which still leads to animal growth and slaughter. “We simply don’t like to kill animals for the fantastic moment,” says Cars. “Foie Gras’s future is already here, and there is no strength to feed or throat slip.”
