Partnering with Growers

• Managed life cycle
• Minimal inputs
• Good agriculture practices

Reducing Food Waste

Kemin products protect a variety of foods that help increase shelf life, which leads to less food waste for grocery stores and consumers.

Our FORTIUM® plant-derived oxidation solutions can help extend shelf life by delaying lipid oxidation in baked goods, snacks, fats and oils. SHIELD® and BactoCEASE® can help extend shelf life by preventing microbial growth.

Our clean label functional proteins, Proteus® and InnoBLQ™ can help improve production efficiencies, resulting in increased yield and plant throughput, improved batter adhesion and reduced oil usage. 

Reducing Transportation Impact

Kemin supplies a wide variety of food protection ingredients including antioxidants, antimicrobials and yield enhancement solutions.

When customers source a variety of ingredients from one supplier, they can reduce the number of:

• total number of shipments
• overall transportation costs.

We also offer a variety of concentrations within our product lines, which can also lead to a reduction in overall ingredients needed for treatment, reducing the number of total pounds shipped.
