 | 심플플래닛, 세포배양 식품 할랄 인증 절차 본격 추진 심플플래닛(Simple Planet)이 세포배양 식품의 할랄 시장 진출을 위한 할랄 인증 획득 절차를 본격적으로 추진하겠다는 계획을 밝혔다. 최근 심플플래닛은 태국 쭐랄롱꼰대학교 할랄과학센터(HSC)와 세포배양 식품의 할랄 인증 및 글로벌 시장 확대를 위한 업무협약(MOU)을 체결하고, 식용 발효 대사산물을 활용한 무혈청 세포 배양 배지 개발에 성공하며 세포배양 식품 및 원료의 할랄 인증 획득을 위한 초석을 다져왔다. 여기에 최근 한국이슬람중앙회(KMF) 할랄위원회가 세포배양 식품 및 원료를 할랄로 인정하는 ‘파트와(fatwa)’를 발표하면서 심플플래닛의 할랄 시장 진출 사업이 탄력을 받게 됐다. 한국이슬람중앙회에 따르면 세포배양 원료가 할랄 원료에서 유래하고, 할랄 기준을 준수한 방식으로 생산될 경우 할랄로 인정될 수 있다. 즉, 세포배양 식품이 할랄 기준을 충족할 경우 무슬림도 소비할 수 있다는 것이다. 파트와는 이슬람 율법(샤리아)에 기반한 비구속적 법적 견해로, 꾸란에서 명확히 정의되지 않은 사안에 대해 무슬림들이 참고할 수 있는 중요한 지침으로 활용된다. 심플플래닛 정일두 대표이사는 “기후 변화로 인한 식량 위기는 전 세계가 주목하고 있는 심각한 글로벌 과제”라며 “환경적인 요소에 영향을 받지 않고 안전하게 공급할 수 있는 세포배양 원료 개발 및 지속가능한 식량생산 시스템 구축을 통해 세포배양 식품에 대한 접근성을 높이고, 식량 안보 및 기아 해소 등에 기여할 수 있도록 노력하겠다”라고 전했다. Simple Planet To Pursue Halal Certification For Cell-Based Food Products Simple Planet announced its plan to pursue Halal certification for its cell-based food products to expand into the global Halal market. A month ago, Simple Planet signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Halal Science Center (HSC) at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand to collaborate on Halal certification for cell-based food products and their global market expansion. Additionally, the company successfully developed an edible, serum-free culture medium using probiotics-derived metabolites, laying the groundwork for obtaining Halal certification for cell-based food products and ingredients. Further boosting these efforts, the Korea Muslim Federation (KMF) Halal Committee recently issued a Fatwa recognizing cell-based food products and ingredients as Halal, accelerating Simple Planet’s entry into the Halal market. According to the Korea Muslim Federation, cell-based ingredients can be recognized as Halal if they originate from Halal sources and are produced in accordance with Halal standards. This means that if cell-based food products meet Halal requirements, they can be consumed by Muslims. The Fatwa is a non-binding legal opinion based on Islamic law, or Sharia, and serves as an important guideline for Muslims on matters not explicitly defined in the Quran. Dominic Jeong, CEO of Simple Planet, stated, “The global food crisis caused by climate change is a critical issue that the world is paying close attention to. By developing cell-based ingredients that can be safely supplied without being affected by environmental factors and establishing a sustainable food production system, we aim to enhance accessibility to cell-based foods, contribute to food security, and help alleviate hunger worldwide.” | |

 | 대체육과 AI...미래형 식단을 설계하다
최근 식품 산업에서 가장 혁신적인 변화 중 하나는 대체육(Plant-Based Meat, Cultured Meat)의 발전이다. 환경 보호, 동물 복지, 건강을 고려한 대체육 시장이 급성장하며 인공지능(AI)도 이 과정에서 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. AI는 대체육의 성분 조합을 최적화하고, 소비자 맞춤형 레시피를 개발하며, 지속 가능한 미래 식단을 설계하는 데 활용된다. 과연 AI와 대체육이 만나면 어떤 변화가 일어날까. '챗GPT'에 물어봤다. 대체육이란 기존 육류를 대체할 수 있도록 만든 식품으로, 식물성 대체육(Plant-Based Meat)과 배양육(Cultured Meat)으로 나뉜다. 식물성 대체육은 콩, 완두, 버섯, 밀 단백질 등 식물성 원료로 고기의 질감과 맛을 재현한 제품이다. 배양육은 동물 세포를 배양하여 실제 고기와 같은 조직을 형성하는 실험실 배양육이다. 대체육 시장은 매년 빠르게 성장하고 있으며, 글로벌 시장 규모는 2030년까지 1400억달러(약 200조원)에 이를 것으로 예상된다. 이런 시장에서 AI는 수천 가지 단백질과 식물성 성분을 분석해 고기의 질감과 풍미를 최대한 유사하게 만드는 역할을 한다. 수천 개의 데이터셋을 분석하여 고기의 감칠맛(우마미), 육즙, 씹는 질감을 가장 비슷하게 재현할 수 있는 조합을 찾아낸다. 또한 AI가 설계한 대체육 조합을 3D 프린팅 기술을 이용해 층층이 쌓아 실제 고기와 같은 식감을 만든다. 여기에 AI는 소비자의 식습관, 건강 데이터, 알레르기 정보를 바탕으로 맞춤형 대체육 레시피를 제공한다. Alternative Meat and AI: Designing the Diet of the Future One of the most innovative changes in the food industry today is the advancement of alternative meat (Plant-Based Meat, Cultured Meat). As the market for alternative meat grows rapidly, driven by concerns for environmental protection, animal welfare, and health, artificial intelligence (AI) is also playing a crucial role in this process.
AI is being used to optimize ingredient combinations, develop consumer-customized recipes, and design sustainable future diets. What kind of changes will occur when AI meets alternative meat? We asked ChatGPT.
Alternative meat refers to food designed to replace conventional meat and is divided into plant-based meat and cultured meat. Plant-based meat is made from plant-based ingredients such as soy, peas, mushrooms, and wheat protein, replicating the texture and taste of meat. Cultured meat is lab-grown meat, formed by culturing animal cells to create structures similar to real meat.
The alternative meat market is growing rapidly every year, with the global market size expected to reach $140 billion (approximately 200 trillion KRW) by 2030.
In this market, AI plays a role in analyzing thousands of proteins and plant-based ingredients to make the texture and flavor of meat as similar as possible. By analyzing thousands of datasets, AI identifies the best combinations to replicate the umami (savory taste), juiciness, and chewiness of real meat.
Additionally, AI-designed alternative meat compositions are layered using 3D printing technology to create a texture similar to that of real meat. Furthermore, AI provides personalized alternative meat recipes based on consumers' eating habits, health data, and allergy information. | |
