Why Vegan Cheese Doesn't Melt | WIRED

Ғылым және технология

The debut of vegan cheese didn't inspire confidence, but in recent years vegan cheese had become a grocery store staple. But there's still one problem; vegan cheese won't melt, stretch, brown or bubble. So, what's the science behind why vegan cheese doesn't act like we expect?

    I'm glad to see so much more interest in vegan and dairy free alternatives in the past few years, but this new development of non animal sourced casein is actually a huge upset for me, being allergic to dairy. As long as it's properly labeled and casein-free sticks around, its not too bad, but labeling a vegan cheese as such while containing casein can certainly have severe consequences for those who have allergies! Please be mindful of this :)

    I completely agree. Seeing things like this is both encouraging but also concerning. As long as people remember that some of us are interested in vegan cheese as a casein-free alternative and properly label their products, I encourage the innovation. However, if vegan products containing casein aren’t labeled, it could have some dangerous consequences.

    As someone who’s also allergic to dairy as well as vegan, what concerns me is when this non-animal casein cheese makes it into restaurants, the potential for disaster is high. For years, even before I was vegan, vegan food has always been an easy, safe bet; as with most who have dairy allergies.So when a restaurant has “vegan” cheese with casein, that is going to cause a problem for workers being aware of what is in their food, and for consumers who have trusted vegan to mean dairy free for decades.

    I'm also allergic to dairy as well a lot of other things and vegan products have always been safe, now it's going to get scary. I agree it's good for those who want cheese without relying on cows, and it's important for the future. I just hope the labeling reflects the ingredients. I've had issues with people and restaurants not realizing that imitation crab still contains shellfish, and I don't want the same problem with cheese.

    As a vegan, this is a great thing to get to see happen! Not all vegans care for vegan cheese or animal product substitutes, but I’m always willing to try new things! *honestly, vegan cheese is better in the way that it doesn’t get all congealed like regular dairy cheese does the next day. If you reheat like a slice of vegan cheese pizza, that cheese will essentially remelt. I never really found that to be true with regular dairy. The texture was off-putting.

    As somebody with a cow's milk allergy I have been making vegan pizza for myself and normal for others for decades. Here is what I have discovered. f you are using a soy mozzarella instead of milk cheese there are 3 rules. (Note that the only soy one I have found to taste "normal" on good pizza is: “follow your heart” brand vegan gourmet mozzarella ) 1) put the cheese at the Parmesan cheese level as the only cheese and 2) use very sparingly - too much soy cheese is just glue and awful! Put all the ingredients on top of the soy cheese with maybe just some dots for looks on some ingredients like slices of Roma tomato 3) Cook 5 to 10 mins longer than the cows milk pizzas.

    In the dairy industry cows are impregnated so that they'll produce milk, the male and surplus calves are killed within a few days to a few weeks of being born and the mothers are exploited for their milk until their yield begins to decline at the age of about 4 to 6 year when they are also slaughtered. A cow can live for up to 22 years. Dairy is an industry of violence and exploitation, that's why it's not vegan.

    @@pranavtiwari_yt cows are forcefully impregnated, repeatedly, their calves are taken away shortly after birth. the cows are force-fed an unhealthy diet of calorie dense grains so they produce more milk. most cows spend their entire "milking" lives in an assembly line, tied to various equipment, injected with antibiotics and supplements to keep them "healthy". when they can no longer produce milk they are sent to the slaughterhouse for low quality beef products (pet food, sausages). the calves usually don't get any of their mother's milk, instead they are fed a cheaper soy based formula and raised either for slaughter or dairy. the cycle continues over and over again, with hundreds of millions of cows killed every year. India is the second largest exporter of beef, despite cows being revered as a "mother". veganism is a way of living that goes beyond a diet, as vegans try to avoid other animal exploitation industries like for-profit zoos, leather, pet farms, circus, etc to the best of their ability.

    So if a person is allergic to milk and you go using all the same protein structures that are found in a cows milk to make vegan milk…won’t they be allergic to the vegan milk with synthesized animal proteins? Just had to go vegan due to some health issues. Actually more flexitarian cause I can still eat chicken and fish without feeling like I’m having an out of body experience about to be followed by a funeral. I gotta be REAL careful what I put in my tank after abusing my diet for 38 yrs. Wish I would have been less stubborn and judgmental of the vegan diet when I first heard of it years ago. But *sigh* fk it I’m here now. Life is good. Plus I got to learn to make so much good food. Any way… Cheers.

    I applaud the efforts being made to create plant-based casein. However, that may only get you to the textural characteristics of dairy cheese. What about the flavor profile? Will you rely on so-called "natural flavors" to accomplish that, as everyone currently does, or will you try to use fermentation? The use of "natural flavors", rampant in the meat and dairy analog category, is a synthetic approach and it often results in an artificial flavor, in my opinion.

    watch a number of vegan cheese videos and you can find plenty that make stretchy cheese. I really do like precision fermentation, but mainly to make the world more eco (like a more eco way of getting omega 3 through algae) and not really to recreate real animal products. The reason is beacuse of allergies, too reminiscent of animal products, etc. Why not find a similar chemical to casein and go with that?

A switch in lifestyle is always welcome if the benefits outweigh the costs.
