Newest ingredient helps manufacturers preserve freshness and protect flavor of snack foods, dressings, sauces, and more
Kemin Industries, a global ingredient manufacturer that strives to sustainably transform the quality of life every day for 80 percent of the world with its products and services, has launched OLESSENCE™, an innovative line of plant-extract blends that boost flavor while preserving freshness in packaged baked goods, snack foods, and more, in North America.
The OLESSENCE line uses various extracts, such as olive fruit, rosemary, green tea, and mixed tocopherols, to meet the goals of the intended application. The new addition to the Kemin Food Technologies – North America business unit’s portfolio of clean label ingredient solutions provides food manufacturers various opportunities, including cost savings, label cleanup, and extended shelf life.
“At Kemin, we’re committed to innovating solutions that cater to the evolving needs of our customers while fostering a more sustainable future,” said Courtney Schwartz, Marketing Director, Kemin Food Technologies – North America. “With the launch of OLESSENCE, we are proud to offer manufacturers an antioxidant solution that allows product developers to seamlessly combine efficacy, sustainability, and versatility—ensuring your products are protected. This line of olive leaf extract blends helps protect flavor and freshness, improving the shelf life of a variety of food applications.”
“OLESSENCE marks a significant advancement in the field of clean label oxidative solutions,” added Schwartz. “This new line effectively delays staling and color and flavor deterioration, as the naturally occurring polyphenols in olive leaf extract help to stabilize fats and oils by curbing the onset of rancidity.1 By harnessing the natural properties of olive extract, Kemin helps manufacturers ensure quality and extend the shelf life of bakery products, catering to the evolving clean label demands of consumers.”
