CASEIN: the secret to a tasty plant-based future

As the environmental and health problems rise, Fooditive has developed the world’s first-ever industrial-scale plant-based Vegan Casein that is produced by precision fermentation that mimics the same cow protein using DNA sequencing. Fooditive Casein is a cruelty-free, sustainable, healthy, and scalable ingredient with the same functions as milk protein, with the difference that it is much safer for the environment.

Adapting the curdling process of cheese for 3D printing of protein-fortified milk

Dairy ingredients such as milk proteins have structure-forming capabilities and are, therefore, suitable ingredients for 3D food printing. In the cheese-making process, during the curdling step, milk proteins coagulate and form a gel (curd) produced by the action of rennet (a substance typically found in a calf’s stomach). The consistency and coagulation speed of the milk curd can be controlled by factors such as protein content, pH, salt concentration and temperature.
