ABSTRACT Cultured meat may require fewer resources and is less polluting than animal meat, but it remains costly to produce. One of the critical challenges in cultivated meat science is to identify/develop fetal bovine serum (FBS) alternatives as growth supplements. Among numerous molecules present in FBS, albumin is the most abundant component, which is crucial for transporting fatty acids and the antioxidant activity of serum. Significant efforts are being invested in finding albumin alternatives due to its functional importance. This study explored the potential of phycocyanins from cyanobacteria (C-Phycocyanin) and red macroalgae (R-Phycocyanin) as albumin alternatives in media for cultivating Japanese quail myoblasts.
