NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE July 2023 85 CULT Food Science Corp., a pioneer in the investment, development, and commercialization of cellular agriculture technologies and products, announced further results of third-party nutritional testing of its initial cultivated pet food ingredient, Bmmune®. New results show postbiotic material – vital for gut health, digestion, and immunity in dogs – in its cultured ingredients to be superior to plant-based sources. The laboratory results show Bmmune®, CULT's patented cultivated ingredient, is rich in polyphenols, which are found in fruits and other plantbased sources. Apples, pears, and berries contain about 200 to 300 mg of polyphenols per 100 grams of fresh fruit. In comparison, Bmmune® contains 1,000 mg of polyphenols per 100-gram serving. Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds that dogs and cats do not digest directly. The polyphenols consumed in whole foods are broken down by intestinal bacteria, which then produce healthy by-products like short-chain fatty acids. Polyphenols have been shown to be effective in fighting inflammation, rebalancing a dog or cat's intestinal health, reducing oxidative stress, and even, research suggests, reducing bacteria activity related to cancer. Bmmune® is a patented blend of high-protein nutritional yeast and fermentation products, and is the foundational ingredient in CULT’s groundbreaking Noochies! Cultivated Pet Food brand.
