The brief
Researchers have successfully grown bovine casein within plant seeds. This development utilizes seed biotechnology to create real dairy proteins in a plant-based medium.
Coverage from Earth.com, StudyFinds, Phys.org, and Food Ingredients First emphasizes the ability to produce cow-free casein. A study linked to Miruku specifically reports that this method has reached a protein yield of 1.26%.
Future attention will likely center on the scalability of this seed biotechnology and further developments regarding the protein yields associated with the Miruku-linked research.
