Unlocking the Potential of Precision Fermentation for Infant Nutrition
12:30 pm
- Highlight recent advances in precision fermentation for producing human-milkrelevant proteins, including human lactoferrin and other bioactive proteins, and explain how this technology enables nature-identical functional ingredients at high purity and consistency beyond traditional dairy sourcing
- Define the scientific and regulatory frameworks needed to responsibly introduce novel precision-fermented proteins into infant nutrition
- Discuss the real-world challenges and strategies for scaling precision fermentation from lab to industrial production, including considerations for manufacturing capacity, cost structure, quality control, and supply reliability
- Explore the future potential of precision-fermented proteins to diversify ingredient portfolios, reduce reliance on traditional agriculture
