Bountica harnesses ‘nutritional immunity’ to disrupt food preservatives market
Israeli startup Bountica is developing proteins for food preservation. The company, which is backed by Israel’s Fresh Start incubator, uses precision fermentation to create a protein that combats food pathogens and spoilage organisms. Bountica recently attracted investment from Sparkalis, a fund with close ties to global bakery ingredients and chocolate company Puratos. The two companies are now collaborating to explore the potential of Bounticas proteins in food applications. Bounticas proteins are effective against pathogens such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria, as well as fungi and yeast. The company is initially targeting the US market.

Preserving the future: Bountica's protein-based coatings poised to tackle food waste
Bountica, a food-tech start-up based in eastern Galilee, Israel, is developing food-safe proteins to prevent the decay and spoilage of perishable foods and beverages. The companys food preservation system is based on the science of protein-to-protein interaction (PPIs), which Bountica leverages to prevent spoilage. These proteins can be integrated into a wide variety of food applications, such as coatings. The company is part of the Galilee agri-cluster and the accelerator group Fresh Start. Bounticas preservatives are less reliant on pH range and are safe for consumption, according to the company.
