Kemin Industries expands OLESSENCE natural preservation portfolio with two new formulations
Kemin Food Technologies has launched OLESSENCE P Dry for meat and poultry applications and OLESSENCE G Liquid for sauces and dips across the EMEA region. The new products join the existing OLESSENCE B Liquid for bakery applications, expanding the company’s natural antioxidant platform.
Global ingredient manufacturer Kemin Industries has extended its OLESSENCE natural preservation line with two new formulations designed to address clean-label demands across European, Middle Eastern and African markets. The launches represent targeted solutions for specific food segments seeking alternatives to synthetic preservatives.
Mediterranean-inspired meat preservation solution
OLESSENCE P Dry targets the meat and poultry sector with what the company describes as a sustainable Mediterranean blend combining two plant-based ingredients. The dry formulation has been specifically developed to meet the technical requirements of protein processing operations whilst aligning with consumer preferences for recognisable ingredients.
The product utilises plant extracts inspired by Mediterranean dietary patterns and regional biodiversity, positioning it within the growing clean-label movement affecting meat processing operations across Europe.
Multi-application liquid preservative for food manufacturing
OLESSENCE G Liquid addresses broader food manufacturing needs, particularly in sauces, dips and bakery applications. The liquid format offers formulators a natural flavouring blend designed to enhance sensory attributes whilst providing shelf-life extension capabilities.
Technical benefits include colour protection properties that help delay enzymatic browning reactions, a significant consideration for manufacturers seeking to maintain product quality throughout distribution channels.
Olive extract differentiation strategy
All OLESSENCE formulations feature olive extract as a key differentiating component, leveraging high consumer recognition of this Mediterranean ingredient. The active compounds derived from these natural flavourings provide dual functionality, delivering both sensory benefits and secondary antioxidant properties that extend product shelf life.
“The OLESSENCE product line tastes like nature and is totally aligned with our core values and goals of providing natural and label-friendly solutions to the food industry,” said Kelly De Vadder, Marketing Director, Kemin Food Technologies – EMEA. “We’re excited to introduce new products to the OLESSENCE line that is designed to meet evolving consumer demands for natural, transparent, recognisable, and high-quality ingredients.”
Market positioning within clean-label trends
The expansion reflects industry movement towards sustainable and natural preservation solutions, responding to documented consumer preferences for products containing familiar ingredients. The OLESSENCE platform addresses manufacturer requirements for effective preservation whilst meeting retail demands for clean-label positioning.
