The Challenge:
Beyond Mimicry
We understand that innovation in the dairy aisle faces a distinct structural barrier. Plant-based ingredients often rely on starches and gums that cannot replicate the unique rheology of the casein micelle . This leaves formulators struggling to achieve the authentic melt, stretch, and mouthfeel that consumers demand.
Simultaneously, the dairy industry faces an urgent mandate to reduce Scope 3 emissions without compromising the sensory profile that has defined the category for centuries. True progress requires a solution that bridges this gap—delivering the functionality of animal protein with the sustainability of fermentation.
The Solution: Bio-Identical Functionality
At Fooditive, we license a precision fermentation platform that produces Non-Animal Casein , a protein functionally and nutritionally identical to bovine milk.

Micelle Architecture
Our proprietary downstream assembly mimics the native micelle structure found in milk, which is the critical mechanism for delivering authentic stretch in mozzarella analogues and body in yogurts.
Thermal Stability
The ingredient remains functional through high-heat processing steps like UHT and retort, ensuring stability in shelf-stable nutritional beverages.
Standardized Purity
We deliver a specification of >90% protein purity (as is) with controlled ash content (<7.5%), allowing for precise formulation control.
Clean Profile
Unlike many plant isolates, our casein offers a neutral, mild dairy flavor free from vegetal off-notes, eliminating the need for complex masking systems.

VALIDATION: THE JOINT PILOT PROGRAM
We do not believe in generic sampling. To ensure success, we engage in a Sample & Pilot Access Program .
Step 1
Define the technical challenge (eg, "Improve melt in vegan pizza cheese").
Step 2
We design a paid or co-funded pilot trial using NaCasein, targeting inclusion rates of 8–18% for cheese analogues or 2–10% for plant-based milks.
Step 3
Our technical team supports your formulation work until the concept is validated.
