Biohackers Ryan Pandya and Perumal Gandhi are crafting a plant-based concoction that's nearly identical in taste and nutritional makeup to cow's milk. They've gone so far as to modify sunflower oil so that it can take on a structural composition similar to milk fats; substitute lactose with galactose, a nearly indistinguishable sugar; and culture yeast to release casein, a protein found in animal milk. If successful, their process might someday be used to churn out milk and a wide range of dairy products, such as cheese, butter and yogurt. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
