Cell culture milk, the present of the future

Many companies are betting on the creation of products more sustainable and less expensive. And, these are two of the most important premises for a large number of people. You could say that products made in laboratories They are the future and, little by little, we must adapt to them. In fact, you've probably already heard of meat grown in these instances. But do you know the cell culture milk? This drink so common on our tables can also be reproduced in laboratories. In fact, the Israeli company BioMilk he has already achieved it. Incredible true?

How does BioMilk work?

The organization itself has ensured in numerous interviews that this cell culture milk exactly replicates the nutritional and functional complexity of animal milk. But, BioMilk It has not been the first company that has embarked on this method of work. Already at the beginning of the year, Turtle Tree Labs launched a project to create an alternative drink. Which reproduces cow's milk from cells of the milk-producing mammary glands. This point is essential to understand the work of both companies. Since, in this way, it is possible dispense with factory farms and of the producing animals. That is, animal suffering is largely eliminated.

It is totally understandable that more and more companies are willing to embark on this new path. This is so because in the cell culture milk, mammary gland cells They are small milk-producing factories that remain operational. What this means is that the final product does not need to grow like the cell culture meat. Therefore, this improves profitability, that is, milk can be offered at more competitive prices.

Method to get milk from cell culture

BioMilk has succeeded in developing a work that works perfectly. His way of working is that of isolate these mammary glands, which are originally responsible for producing milk in their natural environment within the mammal. After this, the cultivated in bioreactors that make them grow and allow them to develop their original function. And, little by little, with the passage of time, they achieve that secrete milk. Always with the maxim of preserving all nutrients present in the natural form of this drink.

Therefore, what they are achieving in this laboratory is to imitate the process that occurs in the last stages of pregnancy. Which is the time when this type of mammary cells proliferate. The result of all this is a much more sustainable product which, in addition, we can adapt depending on our physiological interests and personal tastes.
