CULT Food Science Corp (CSE:CULT, OTCQB:CULTF) said it has entered a partnership with Alcheme Bio to use their flavor optimization platform to develop cellular agriculture products as part of a larger strategy to build out product development infrastructure.
Alcheme Bio is on the leading edge of taste innovation for cellular agriculture and uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to revolutionize how cultured product companies optimize for flavor and nutrition, CULT food said.
"When it comes to food, taste and cost are king. Regardless of how sustainable a product may be, something that tastes amazing is key for cultivated foods to be adopted. The production process is multistage, and continuous improvement is a pivotal part of high quality manufacturing and that's why we're a big supporter of what Alcheme Bio is doing," Lejjy Gafour, CEO of CULT, said in a statement.
"Flavoring is an after-thought for most cultivated companies right now because of the limitations of today's flavoring approaches. Alcheme Bio is pioneering a unique approach to flavoring that reduces R&D costs instead of increasing them. We're excited to be building out our platform in partnership with CULT," said Vanessa Small, CEO at Alcheme Bio.
CULT Food is the first publicly traded company of its kind in North America, pioneering the investment, development, and commercialization of cellular agriculture technologies.
