Reference Works

Reference works and textbooks that cell-ag programs draw on for foundational context that doesn’t fit any single Papers.md / Software.md / Datasets/ entry. Each entry below includes the canonical ISBN and — where the work is a chaptered reference whose chapter DOIs are individually resolvable — a chapter index with https://doi.org/... URLs so AI agents resolving by identifier land back on the parent entry. The chapter index is curated to the chapters most cell-ag-relevant; for the full table of contents, fetch the publisher’s reference-work landing page.

Cellular Agriculture: Technology, Society, Sustainability and Science

Fraser, E. D. G., Kaplan, D. L., Newman, L., & Yada, R. Y. (Eds.). (2023). Cellular Agriculture: Technology, Society, Sustainability and Science. Elsevier / Academic Press. ISBN 978-0-443-18766-7. 33 numbered chapters plus glossary.

The foundational cellular agriculture textbook (per New Harvest’s editorial framing of the volume) covering the field as a unified whole — the technology stack (cell biology, scaffolding, media optimization, bioprocess), the societal and sustainability framing, and the science-of-the-art chapters across cultivated meat, seafood, and dairy. David L. Kaplan, one of the four editors, directs the Tufts University Center for Cellular Agriculture (TUCCA) from which CAAIL itself originates; the book is a foundational primer for AI / ML researchers approaching cell-ag from the computer-science side, and is a natural companion to the Cellular Agriculture for AI Researchers primer.

Encyclopedia of Meat Sciences, 3rd edition

Dikeman, M. (Ed.). (2024). Encyclopedia of Meat Sciences (3rd ed., three-volume set). Academic Press / Elsevier. ISBN 978-0-323-85125-1 (print) / 978-0-323-85198-5 (eBook). (Print release October 2023; 2024 imprint year used by Crossref and the printed copyright page.)

The canonical multi-volume reference work for meat science, updated for 2024. For cellular agriculture, the Encyclopedia is the substrate reference for the meat-science questions cultivated-meat programs ultimately need to answer — what makes meat taste like meat, what determines color/texture/water-holding/protein-functionality, what flavor compounds matter, how the analytical methods are calibrated — framed in conventional-meat terms but applicable substrate for the cultivated counterpart. The chapters below are individually DOI-resolvable; CAAIL catalogues the cell-ag-relevant subset, not the full table of contents (the canonical reference-work landing page has the rest).

Earlier editions also exist in the caail Zotero library: 2nd ed. (Dikeman & Devine, eds., 2014, ISBN 978-0-12-384734-8) and 1st ed. (Jensen, Devine, & Dikeman, eds., 2004, ISBN 978-0-08-092444-1, Vol. 1 [A–F]); the 3rd edition supersedes both for current reference use.

Cross-references — where the Encyclopedia’s chapter clusters are picked up elsewhere in CAAIL:

  • ResearchAreas/SensoryPrediction.md — the Flavor & sensory chapters and the Bioactives & nutrition chapters are the conventional-meat reference substrate for the cultivated-counterpart sensomics work catalogued there.
  • ResearchAreas/Bioprocess.md — the Modeling in meat science: Microbiology chapter and the Physicochemistry & quality cluster underlie the bioprocess work on cultivated-meat scale-up.
  • Datasets/Cow.md, Datasets/Pig.md, Datasets/Chicken.md — the species-specific Flavor development in beef, pork, lamb and goat meat chapter and the Biotechnology approaches in poultry meat production chapter are reference reading paired with the per-species data inventories.
