A recent study has revealed that consuming a specific type of cheese could improve memory. The research, published in Neuroscience Research, highlighted the brain health benefits of Camembert cheese.
The study found that the fatty acid amides (such as myristamides) produced during the fermentation process of cheese enhanced memory and cognitive abilities in mice that were fed a high-fat diet. This suggests that Camembert cheese may potentially have nutritional benefits for brain health.
The fermentation process of this cheese produces fatty acid amides, which are rarely found in non-fermented or differently fermented cheeses. These compounds are known for their ability to improve brain health.
To understand the brain health benefits of Camembert cheese and its fatty acid amides, researchers conducted experiments on male mice. The mice were divided into groups and fed either a high-fat diet alone or a diet supplemented with Camembert cheese or specific fatty acid amides derived from cheese.
Subsequent tests revealed that the mice fed Camembert cheese and myristamides showed improvement in their memory.
