  • The clean-label market is estimated to acquire a size of over USD 42 billion by the end of 2030. The market will thrive at a healthy CAGR of over 17.56%. – Market Research Future, 2022
InnoBLQ V Clean label

  • The European Commission's 'farm to fork strategy' aims to reduce the environmental and climate impact of the EU food system and promote healthy and sustainable diets. The strategy includes front-of-pack nutrition labelling to help consumers make informed and healthier food choices, and to encourage food reformulation. A public consultation found that a graded indicator for overall nutritional value was the most likely to change food purchasing behavior. The Commission is expected to propose measures in 2023. - A European Green Deal, 2023

InnoBLQ™ redefines Fried Food Products

InnoBLQ™, Kemin's latest clean-label functional protein, suits breaded and battered fried food products. Our vegetable protein blend experience a protein structure modification that enables a fat block function with an optimized performance of the plant-based solution.

Whether your company is a fast food chain or manufacturing packaged frozen products, InnoBLQ™ can reduce oil usage and decrease up to 18% of fat in the finished products. This allows significant cost savings for manufacturers and has also a less greasy mouthfeel for consumers. The efficacious coating system allows for fat reduction in fried food, delivering a crispier, juicier, and less greasy product.

From a manufacturer's perspective, the effective coating function and reduced oil uptake cause less dreg in the production line, ensuring shorter clean-in-place (CIP) duration and enhanced production efficiency.

How does InnoBLQ™ work?

InnoBLQ coat

InnoBLQ™ binds and forms a micro barrier film around the substrate.

InnoBLQ fry

During the frying, the film hardens and forms a protective layer around the substrate.

This layer helps increase breading adhesion and reduces residue in oil after frying. Less oil entering the substrate reduces frying oil usage.

innoBLQ_enhance

Higher moisture retention in the fried products means:

  • Improved taste and texture
  • Increased yield

InnoBLQ™ Product Applications

Kemin's plant-based protein, InnoBLQ, applies with most fried food products
