Answered
What specific dairy protein are scientists producing in plants?
Scientists are producing bovine casein.
What protein yield was reported in the Miruku-linked study?
The study reported a protein yield of 1.26%.
How is this dairy protein being grown?
The protein is grown in plant seeds using seed biotechnology.
Where it stands
Researchers have developed a method to grow bovine casein within plant seeds. According to a study linked to Miruku, this process has achieved a protein yield of 1.26%.
Coverage from Phys.org, Earth.com, and Food Ingredients First emphasizes the use of seed biotechnology to create cow-free dairy proteins. StudyFinds and Cultivated X highlight the scientific approach to producing real dairy components through plant-based systems.
Future attention will likely focus on the scalability of this seed biotechnology and the resulting protein yields as the research progresses.
