Professor Post is developing a way to grow meat in a lab

he says, is it going to satisfy the growing demand for meat.
而且也无法满足人类日益增长的肉类需求。
His aim is to produce a burger that looks and tastes just like the real thing
他的目标是创造出一种样式和口味与真实汉堡相似的人造汉堡。
but from what I saw at his lab, which is still a work in progress.
但是根据我从他实验室里看到的,该实验仍处于进展当中。
The flesh, grown from stem cells, is pale white and tasteless,
因为人造肉是用干细胞培育而成,无色无味,
so food technologists have had to mix in breadcrumbs, caramel and saffron to add flavor and juice to add color.
因此食物专家用面包屑,焦糖和藏红花为其加味、用果汁为其上色。
The mixture is then put together to make the burger that will be cooked then eaten by two food writers.
所有用料添加完毕后进行烹制,最后制成汉堡由两位美食作家品尝。
Initial testing during the development process suggests that it won't taste great,
起初的试验阶段表明这一汉堡的口味有所欠佳,
but according to Professor Post, it will taste good enough.
但是Post教授表示,汉堡会越来越美味的。
