Will van den Tweel joined DSM in the Netherlands. From she started in the WUR tenure track as assistant professor at the Food Quality and Design group.Īfter getting his PhD in Biotechnology (1988) from WUR, dr. From 2014-2017, she worked as a researcher at FrieslandCampina Research, followed by postdoc positions at Aarhus University in Denmark and at the Food Quality and Design group of Wageningen University. In 2014, she obtained her PhD degree on the topic of ' Natural variation in casein and salt composition of milk'. Etske Bijl is a food scientist, specialized in milk and dairy products.

WUR audio tour on protein transition (only in Dutch)ĭr.

Is there a revolution underway which will make livestock farming redundant? Real cheese and milk, lab-grown using yeast to produce proteins. Ice cream behaved like “real” ice cream on the palate.About series ‘Cultured Meat, Milk and Cheese – A Revolution Underway?’

Slide-across-the-tongue sensation that makes ice cream so irresistible. The added non-animal whey transforms the coconut oil, punching it up with a glossy, BUT…this vegan ice cream brand is different

Is coconut oil–and the nutrition numbers pencil out about the same asĮssential for delicious ice cream. With my kids along for this fun ride, I sampled an array of flavors: PB &įudge, Blueberry Pie, Raspberry White Truffle, Buttery Pecan, HazelnutĬhocolate Chunk and A Lot of Chocolate. I am not a scientist–and definitely not a molecular biologist– so I urge caution for anyone that has an intolerance or allergy to casein or lactose. Because of the non-animal whey’s identical molecular structure to whey protein from cow’s milk, Brave Robot’s packages must be labeled as “contains milk protein.” Look here for more info. But the FDA, government organization behind food product labeling laws, requires labeling allergens.

Why does the label say it contains milk protein if the product is vegan? When I inquired about this seeming contradiction with the company, I was assured that yes, the product is vegan. I am a food writer who lives a dairy-free life and I found the packaging confusing. Photo credit: Stefan Welter The Confusing Part
