Enhancing Vegan Cheese Production: Leveraging Transcriptomic Data for Taste and Texture Improvement

Our client’s requirement

The client, a leading food and beverage company in the EU, aimed to revolutionize their vegan cheese production by replicating the taste and texture of traditional cheese. They sought to leverage publicly available transcriptomic data to pinpoint the key factors influencing these characteristics and refine their production process.

Our approach

Excelra meticulously compiled and analyzed transcriptomic experiments related to two fungal species crucial to the production process. By providing secure access and an interactive genome browser, we enabled the client to visualize and interpret the data in real-time. This empowered them to uncover insights and optimize their production strategy.

  • Compiled a comprehensive dataset: Collected publicly available transcriptomic data on Fungus A and Fungus B.
  • User-Friendly Interface: We developed a user-friendly platform for easy data exploration and analysis.
  • In-depth Analysis: Our experts conducted a thorough analysis to identify key factors impacting cheese characteristics.

Key Outcomes:

  • Enhanced Understanding: Our client gained a deeper understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying cheese production.
  • Data-Driven Decision Making: The client was empowered to make informed decisions based on data-driven insights.
  • Improved Product Development: Our analysis led to potential improvements in the vegan cheese production process.
