Pet health and PureeX
Discovering new health claims
Researchers are uncovering a range of health benefits of PureeX, including its hypoallergenic properties that may provide relief for pets with allergies. Another study suggests that PureeX could help prevent joint diseases like arthritis by reducing inflammation and providing essential joint-building blocks.
Two scientific studies point to a strong antioxidant effect. The first study found that PureeX could suppress the negative effect of pro-oxidant molecules by 90%, while chicken and fishmeal could trigger a 5-15% increase of these harmful molecules. The second study showed that insect-based cat food with PureeX demonstrated 80% suppression of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), outperforming super premium cat foods, which achieved 70%. For manufacturers in the premium pet food sector, PureeX offers an exciting opportunity to enhance antioxidant potential in sustainable, easily digestible formulations that benefit pet health.
Ongoing research continues to reveal additional health benefits of this innovative ingredient.
A low footprint ingredient
A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) conducted by the German Institute of Food Technologies Deutsches Institut für Lebensmitteltechnik (DIL) confirms PureeX has a considerably lower environmental footprint compared with common alternatives.
