Perfect veggie burgers

Scientists seem to be able to come close to creating an ideal "lean hamburger"



Biochemist named Patrick Brown came up with an alternative strategy that will help to make the burgers, which do not contain meat, but that looks like meat, and taste like meat. To date, the company Brown Impossible Foods sells vegetarian pies, filled with a substance called heme, is extracted from the roots of plants accumulate nitrogen. In appearance, it is very similar pinkish fluid acts on a surface of fresh meat (water mixed with myoglobin). Brown in an interview with Wall Street Journal told of how one day realized that using this substance can also mimic the blood, which is present in this (and quite rare) "blood hamburger».

Now Impossible Foods has a $ 75 million start-up capital, and in the number of these include cash money of Bill Gates and Google Ventures. These funds will enable the company to start new production.



The above high-tech approach - is one of many possible ways for making veggie burgers. Mass company now produces its "meat" synthetic eggs produced from the protein, which in turn is obtained from pea or soy. It is from this in the future are made pseudo-chicken breasts and the like. Nevertheless, the industry is now approaching the production of veggie burgers, which has long been considered something of a Holy Grail for a vegetarian future. Hamburger on Impossible Foods valued at $ 20 can be as close to what is today getting customers online fast In-N-Out, so it is natural that this ambitious undertaking could attract such a large initial capital in such a short period of time.
