Abstract
This study presents the development of a flavor-switchable scaffold to enhance the aromatic properties of cultured meat. A switchable flavor compound (SFC) is incorporated into a gelatin-based hydrogel scaffold, releasing meaty flavor compounds only upon cooking at temperatures mimicking the Maillard reaction. Cultured meat produced using this scaffold exhibits a flavor profile similar to beef, suggesting a novel strategy for improving the sensory characteristics of cultured meat.
