This summer, a biotech firm called Moolec Sciences unveiled their latest creation: a soy plant that grows pig proteins. The aptly named "Piggy Sooy" is part of a growing trend to produce animal proteins without animals. Using a process called molecular farming, Piggy Sooy's development involves inserting genetic material from a pig into soybean seeds.
According to GFI, there are currently 12 companies worldwide using this technology to grow various products, including casein and lactoferrin (Forte Protein and Greenovation Protein), animal-free dairy proteins for cheese, ice cream, and yogurt (Miruku, Mozza, and Nobell Foods), growth factors for cultivated meat (Tiamet Sciences and Bright Biotech), and more.
The company says the success of its soybean platform has led them to “file a new patent utilizing a novel approach aiming to provide the company with a frictionless regulatory pathway going forward.” 😳
