28 May 2024 --- Food tech start-up NewMoo has developed a “hormone-free” liquid casein using plant molecular farming that is naturally free of lactose and cholesterol and mimics the functionality of dairy cheese. The technique is pegged as a cost-effective process that “sets the cow free” from the industrial milk production process and yields a sustainable source of proteins. Casein is the main ingredient in cheese, allowing it to stretch, melt and bubble — all properties that cheese alternative manufacturers struggle to achieve.
