Abstract: (88 Views)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the ability of smart scaffolds of Kappa-carrageenan (Carr) and the combination of Kappa-carrageenan and quince seed mucilage (Carr:Quc) to support C2C12 viability and growth for cultured meat production. Carr and Carr:Quc with a final concentration of 1.5% (v/w) were developed using a 5% potassium chloride solution. The capability of the scaffolds to respond to the pH change of the environment was evaluated, and the viability of C2C12 at normal pH (7.4) and varying pH levels (7.4-5.5) was assessed. The evaluation of swelling changes with varying pH (pH 1-7) showed that for the Carr scaffold, the highest swelling was observed at pH 5, reaching 145%, which showed a significant difference compared to swelling at other pH levels (p < 0.05). The highest swelling for the Carr:Quc scaffold was also observed at pH 5, reaching 428%, with a significant difference compared to swelling at other pH levels (p < 0.05). Moreover, the change in the swelling behavior of the scaffolds was evaluated by changing the pH from 7.4 to 5.5. Carr did not show any swelling change, while Carr:Quc demonstrated a significant change in swelling after exposure to pH 5.5 for 30, 45, 60, 180, and 360 min. On Carr:Quc, C2C12 showed higher viability in normal conditions compared to varying pH levels from 7.4 to 5.5. Furthermore, after culturing on Carr:Quc, C2C12 maintained their viability throughout the culture period for 15 days at pH 7.4 and showed the potential for spheroid formation. The findings of this study could pave the way for the design of scaffolds made of edible biopolymers to facilitate tissue engineering of cultured meat
