Animal-Free Dairy: A Technological Breakthrough with AI and Precision Fermentation
The fusion of AI and precision fermentation has led to a significant breakthrough: the creation of animal-free dairy. By engineering yeasts to produce casein and whey, the main proteins in milk, we can create dairy products that are indistinguishable from traditional ones. These animal-free dairy products, free from hormones, antibiotics, and contaminants, are a testament to the power of AI and precision fermentation.
