SUMMARY:

Every ten seconds humans kill approximately 24,000 animals for food, up to 75 billion a year. A task that is accomplished with speed and efficiency like never before in the history of mankind. While the world's population has more than doubled in the last 50 years, meat production for consumption has more than quadrupled. The land, water, food and greenhouse gas emissions involved in this production are reaching frightening values. Laboratory meat production (farmed meat), a science that has emerged in the last decade, presents itself as a possible solution to the problems involved in raising animals for slaughter. Still young, this branch of science still needs a great deal of study and parameter setting to become an industry with productive capacity on a global level. One of the most important aspects for laboratory animal protein cultivation is the bias in the development of porous scaffolds to promote the mechanical support that cells require. Electrospinning is one of the most applied techniques for the fabrication of these structures, but it has a low production rate, which directly implies the cost of the final product. In this work we will study the manufacture of two equipment inspired by the technique of Rotary Jet Spinning (RJS), a promising alternative to overcome the challenge of producing scaffolds to meet an imminent global demand. Cellulose acetate (Sigma Aldritch) nanofibers will be made with bixa orellana extract added (1%wt) by both techniques, thus, the morphological, chemical, physical, mechanical and biological properties will be compared in order to determine the advantages and disadvantages outlined by the nanofibers produced.
