Bio-engineers have been dreaming to create artificial milk with useful properties of this. American start-up company created a dairy product, which can be called perfect - it does not contain lactose and cholesterol.
As reported by The Daily Mail, the company's goal is not only to prepare a drink for 75 percent of the world's population who can not drink cow's milk due to deficiency of the enzyme that digests lactose - milk sugar. Undigested lactose, accumulate in the body, can cause diarrhea. Researchers also want to reduce our dependence on animals.
Scientists are going to produce major components of milk with yeast cultures. The idea to create a "milk from scratch" appeared on the background of the massive industrialization of agriculture, which is not the best way affects the quality of milk and leading to ecological imbalance.
When the researchers examined the composition of ordinary cow's milk, they found that for his taste and beneficial properties of proteins are responsible only six and eight fat. Among the major components of its scientists isolated lactose, which, according to them, is present in milk in copious amounts. Generated dairy product does not contain lactose.
Estimated, about a hundred years artificial milk will become the norm for the population, which numbered at that time will reach nine billion people.
The first trial batch of artificial milk will be released in July 2015, after which it will be considered variants of series production. It is expected that on the supermarket shelves will be a new product in 2017.
The company also plans to develop kits that will produce artificial milk at home. Researchers are confident in the success of your project, because, according to them, such a decision is beneficial to all, except those who earn a lot of money milking cows.
In the future, we are waiting for an artificially created food. Scientists already inclining us to use test-tube meat.
