[Precision Fermentation] Healthier Comforts, The Every Co Roll Out Animal-Free Egg White Protein Powder in c/technology@lemmy.world

I was wondering that myself.

Maybe it's not digital tech so people don't care? Maybe they think it's an add.

I was just surprised/ happy it is a commercial reality.

This could be used in bulk in the manufacture of foods.

Great futuristic way to get egg whites without the killing and ecological harm.

"Precision fermentation involves inserting a DNA sequence into microbes to teach them to produce specific molecules when fermented – in The Every Co’s case, these include proteins conventionally found in chicken eggs.

The company’s OvoPro ingredient can replace egg whites’ functionality in a range of applications, and OvoBoost is a highly soluble, taste- and texture-neutral protein equivalent to glycoprotein. In addition, it has developed an animal-free pepsin that acts as a digestive protein. Each has been approved for sale by the US Food and Drug Administration."
