The " Know. "
Extend Shelflife to Control Food Waste
Kemin makes it possible
to reduce food waste and
extend product shelf life, all
while maintaining a clean
label. This sustainably
driven company markets
an extensive portfolio of
ingredients to help keep
foods fresher, longer and
safer.
The clean label portfolio
from Kemin includes plantderived
ingredients that are
alternatives to synthetic
preservatives. They assist
with retarding the oxidation of
fats and oils in foods, thereby
preventing the development
of stale, old, rancid tastes
and smells. In meat and
poultry, they help with color
management and even food
safety. Clean label options
in the FORTIUM® family
include ingredients based on
rosemary extract that can be
used instead of traditional
tocopherols and synthetic
antioxidants. There's also
blends of mixed tocopherols
designed for maximum
effectiveness against color
and flavor degradation.
and process engineers can help determine the
optimal order of ingredient addition and method
of application for your specific product. "
Kemin also offers in-plant testing support
to assist with ensuring quality throughout the
manufacturing process. This allows for batch-tobatch
consistency.
" To maintain consistent product quality, critical
parameters should be monitored at different
stages of production, " says Ms. Schwartz. " This
may include visual observation, analytical testing
and sensory evaluation. By identifying needs onsite,
variations in quality can be quickly detected
and corrective action can be taken. "
Monitoring critical process parameters to
ensure consistent product quality is a crucial
step to scaling up. This may include checking
temperatures and time controls during raw
processing, thermal processing, cooling and
freezing processes. In-plant monitoring allows for
identifying deviations or areas of optimization that
can impact product safety or quality.
" An optimized process that includes food
safety and quality ingredients is an important
step on the path to market success, " concludes
Ms. Schwartz.
