“Sustainable dairy alternatives that shape the future of dairy – from plant based, cultured to precision fermentation”

A recent study done revealed that consumers across multiple countries are enthusiastic and curious about using precision fermentation to create dairy protein.

Can this next generation dairy or most preferably known as animal-free dairy be the future method in making dairy ?
 
Plant based milk is already in phase 4 characterized by demand for greater variety  - will microalgae or potato milk be the next big thing ?
 
What about plant based cheese ? As consumers expectations in plant based dairy evolve, what formulation challenges do brands and new startups need to address ? Cheese especially those that are used on top of pizzas or grilled sandwiches need the melt and stretchability that plant based cheese still struggle to achieve and some fail the taste test.
 
This is where fermentation can come in to manipulate the flavor and help develop concentrate ingredients that are able to improve the overall taste and flavor in plant-based alternatives dairy.
 
To stay ahead of the innovation curve, attend the Sustainable DAIRY Alternatives event on the 24 - 25th of May and find out what are the new materials & technologies out there and can truly delivering authentic taste, functionality and cleaner label for dairy protein.
