3D-printed vegan seafood could someday be what’s for dinner (video)
To create desirable and healthful vegan seafood mimics, researchers have 3D-printed an ink made of microalgae protein and mung bean protein. They air-fried their proof-of-concept calamari rings for a tasty, quick snack. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2023.
That’s not nuts: Almond milk yogurt packs an overall greater nutritional punch than dairy-based
In a nutritional comparison of plant-based and dairy yogurts, almond milk yogurt came out on top, according to research led by a University of Massachusetts Amherst food science major.
Sperm motility & frequent abortions in spreading earthmoss
As a component of moors, mosses are important for climate conservation. They are also gaining increasing significance in biotechnology and the manufacture of biopharmaceuticals.
Watching Plants Switch on Genes
Researchers attach green fluorescent protein (GFP), a protein that changes light from one color into another, to other proteins to observe how and where cells produce those proteins and thus how cells express genes. However, the use of GFP is time consuming and requires expensive equipment. Researchers have now designed and developed a special type of GFP visible with the unaided eye and a simple black light.
Fancy a side of 3D printed carrots and crickets with your meal?
As the global population continues to age and grow, the demand for protein-rich food is also expected to increase concurrently. This has also caused concerns on increasing greenhouse gases, land and water consumption associated with the conventional rearing of animals for food.
Human cells take in less protein from a plant-based meat than from chicken
In ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, researchers report that proteins in a model plant-based substitute were not as accessible to cells as those from meat. The team says this knowledge could eventually be used to develop more healthful products.
What Shedding Light on Plant Growth Could Mean for Cancer
Understanding how plants process light is key to improving crop yields. Light helps plants know when to grow and flower at the right time.
