An eight-week human trial reveals how diets based on fortified plant-based meat alternatives hold up nutritionally against animal meats.

Air-trapping proteins from snap pea pods possess natural foaming properties, offering a plant-based alternative for making whipped cream and other fluffy foods.

A machine learning framework proposes smarter experiments for optimising meat-like flavours by learning from the aroma and sensory profiles of each round of samples.

Whether for novel medicines or high-value chemicals, A*STAR teams are at the forefront of new developments across the pipeline and scaling up scientific breakthroughs for Singapore’s growing bioeconomy.

Soft textures, fibrous structures and improved protein digestibility—plant-based meat products could have these all, when processed using the right concentration and type of enzyme.

Researchers map out a metabolic detour, engineering microbes to take the fast lane to producing citrus-scented limonene.

By examining how soy protein concentrates affect protein fibrous texture, scientists address existing quality control issues faced by meat-alternative manufacturers.

At A*STAR, precision medicine and population health are bridging disciplines to shed new light on facets of human development and well-being, enabling targeted early interventions to enhance the healthspans of Asian populations.

A*STAR researchers take a layered approach to create fibrous alternative meat products that mimic the sensory profiles of the real deal.

Through a blend of simulation, machine learning and advanced data analytics, digital twins are emerging as one of AI’s most powerful applications, transforming innovation cycles across a diverse range of industries.

An aroma-first cell culture process bypasses costly tissue growth to deliver a familiar flavour for meat lovers.

Researchers find that the same microbes behind cheeses and dry-aged meats can add new depths of flavour to fermented soybean products.
