[QUOTE="Grant, post: 2526, member: 1"] [B][B]"As a vegan myself, I definitely miss consuming honey," says Darko Mandich, co-founder and chief executive of MeliBio, wistfully.[/B][/B] It's not unusual for vegans to miss certain foods. What is unusual, though, is Mr Mandich's solution: to create a type of honey, identical to the natural kind in every molecule, but produced without involving any bees at all. "When you look at honey and how it's made, it starts with bees collecting pollen and nectar from the flowers and then converting that into the building blocks of honey, which are fructose and glucose," he says. "We are simulating that in the lab, using micro-organisms which do the work of building the initial blocks of honey." [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.bbc.com/news/business-56154143[/URL] [/QUOTE]
