Recombinant proteins are widely used in life-saving medicines, with recombinant insulin being one of the biggest success stories. Recently, the use of recombinant proteins in food has been gaining traction. Read this new post by Swati Choudhary (Shiru's Head of Strain Engineering) to learn more about how we're using Flourish™, our cutting-edge ingredient Discovery platform, to identify and create novel recombinant proteins and why we think it's important to utilize this technology for creating a sustainable food system.

At Shiru, we express diverse functional food proteins in microbial host strains and evaluate them to identify and create hero food ingredients. Read on to learn more about strain engineering and how we leverage biotechnology to convert proteins from ideas to functional food ingredients.
