By
Marta Zaraska
Summary
This article from ACS Central Science explores the scientific challenges behind creating plant-based cheeses that mimic dairy, specifically focusing on a new method for making vegan Camembert. It details how researchers are using fermentation, protein chemistry, and fat structuring to coax dairy-like textures and flavors from plant-based materials, addressing the common shortcomings of vegan cheeses such as poor meltability, rubbery textures, and lack of flavor complexity.
