Salo is one of the favorite products of Ukrainians, but it costs a lot of time and money to produce it.

Therefore, students of Agrarian University in Sumy developed a fat substitute, for the production of which no need to kill pigs and which is much cheaper in production. The new artificial bacon will consist of oil and gelatin.

The project management and the formulation of the original product was managed by the associate professor of the nutrition department Dmytro Bidyuk. He noted that artificial bacon can be anything to taste, for example, it can be made salty, pepper, add the taste and aroma of various spices. And also artificial bacon can be sour, sweet and have a different degree of fat.

Dmitry Bidyuk also said that artificial bacon is a decent alternative to natural: the taste is almost indistinguishable from genuine fat, and no harmful substances in it. As well as artificial lard, vegetarians can eat.
