Abstract
Cultivated meat (CM) stands as an alternative to conventional meat, offering a sustainable substitute and contributing to food security. Despite its potential, CM faces numerous challenges. Biofabrication emerges as a solution to address these issues across all the CM research pillars, especially with respect to the scaffolds. This review delves into the current state-of-the-art biofabrication technologies, explaining their role in supporting CM production across various scopes, including sustainability, cost efficiency, nutritional enrichment, and the enhancement of the overall mouthfeel. Challenges have also been analysed and articulated to understand the opportunities arising from advancements in biofabrication technology to further improve the future of CM manufacturing.
