Abstract: Plant-based microfibrous scaffolds and a method for producing these scaffolds for culturing meat, providing a biocompatible, edible, and scalable 3D structure that supports high cell yield. The scaffold includes plant-based proteins, polysaccharides, and carbohydrates, eliminating the need for synthetic polymers and toxic solvents. The method for producing these scaffolds includes dissolving the components, creating a homogeneous solution, spinning the fibers using air volume and centrifugal forces, and heating to achieve crosslinking. The resulting scaffolds have controlled fiber diameters, thicknesses, and area densities, enhancing cell growth, nutrient diffusion, and structural integrity and provide an efficient and sustainable solution for large-scale cultured meat production.

Abstract: A device including one or more nozzles having a tubular fiber spinning needle and method for producing non-toxic polymer fibers and microfibrous and nanofibrous polymer materials made thereof on a small to large scale using a wide range of synthetic polymers and bio-based polymers. The device and method enable continuous in-line production of polymer fibers at a high fiber production rate energy efficiently and safely. The increased polymer fiber production rate is achieved by the at least one nozzle that enables a centrifugal force acting upon the tubular fiber spinning needle causing rotational motion of the tubular fiber spinning needle and higher polymer injection rates per nozzle.
