Pureture Partners with South Korea’s Namyang Dairy to Launch Dairy-Free Range Made with Plant-Based Casein

Pureture, a US biotech company, has partnered with South Korea's Namyang Dairy Products to launch a new dairy-free range made with plant-based casein. Namyang Dairy, a global dairy manufacturer, will use Pureture's plant-based casein to develop sustainable, dairy-free products without sacrificing taste, nutrition, or cost. Pureture claims to have developed the world's first non-GMO plant-based casein, which allows for clean-label, dairy-free products to be made without additives, emulsifiers, or binders.

The plant-based casein, derived from yeast, offers the same nutritional profile and functionality as milk caseins, providing alternative milk with a smooth texture and plant-based cheese with melting and stretching characteristics. Pureture is working towards forging strategic partnerships with leading dairy firms and international ingredients suppliers to launch its plant-based casein in a new generation of clean-label and animal-free dairy products. The company is also finalizing a $12 million seed funding round to build manufacturing facilities and further develop its brand in the industry.
