NewMoo leverages plant molecular farming to create animal-free casein proteins essential for cheese production. This innovative approach ensures a genuine cheese experience while promoting sustainability and cost-effectiveness. NewMoo is transforming the dairy industry by providing a viable alternative to traditional dairy farming, addressing environmental concerns and ethical considerations.
NewMoo, a trailblazer in food-tech, brings innovation to the dairy industry through plant molecular farming (PMF) to produce casein proteins. Casein, making up about 80% of the proteins in dairy milk, is essential for cheese production. NewMoo's plant-based casein offers a sustainable, animal-free, and cost-effective alternative to traditional dairy casein, transforming how cheese and other dairy products are made.
Key Features
NewMoo employs PMF, a sophisticated technique that utilizes plants to produce casein proteins. This process involves introducing the genetic code for casein into plant cells, enabling the plants to synthesize the protein as they grow. The casein is then extracted and purified, resulting in a high-quality, animal-free ingredient suitable for various dairy applications. This method significantly reduces the environmental impact associated with traditional dairy farming, including greenhouse gas emissions and water usage.
One of the key advantages of NewMoo's plant-based casein is its ability to replicate the functionality of traditional dairy casein. The casein proteins produced through PMF have similar properties, allowing for the creation of cheese and other dairy products with the same texture, flavor, and melting characteristics as their animal-derived counterparts. This ensures that consumers can enjoy their favorite dairy products without compromising on taste or quality.
NewMoo's liquid casein is production-ready, helping streamline production and go-to-market. This eliminates the need for extensive processing or modification, saving manufacturers time and resources. The consistent quality and composition of NewMoo's casein also contribute to greater product consistency and reliability. NewMoo's caseins can form the basis for a cheese that has the exact melting and stretching behavior as animal dairy cheese, and delivers the typical aroma, flavor, and texture that cheese eaters crave.
