Our recent work has focused on the development of functional and high protein (up to 18% protein) plant-based cheese, as well as the development of adipose tissue mimetics. We also developed a enzymatically transformed oil which could replace animal fats. At the core of the cheese work, we focused on characterizing the physical properties of plant proteins required for the production of highly functional cheese.
