AI-Powered Vegan Cheeses

Climax Foods Unveils a New AI-Created Vegan Cheese Variant

Climax Foods is now leveraging artificial intelligence to revolutionize plant-based food design. This system discovers new combinations that emulate traditional food characteristics by utilizing advanced algorithms trained on extensive datasets of ingredients with desirable attributes like flavor, aroma, and texture.

At Climax Foods, the food science lab on the ground floor has state-of-the-art instruments integral to building their extensive data repository. The team utilizes robust tools such as an ion chromatograph, a mass spectrometer, and a rheometer to monitor certain aspects of the development process, including the physical deformation responses of cheese, acid balance, and more.

These sophisticated analyses create performance benchmarks that Climax Foods’ AI systems aim to replicate using diverse plant-based ingredients. Through strategic experimentation and leveraging the potential of various plant substitutes, Climax Foods’ scientists have developed over 5,000 cheese prototypes within the past four years.
