KEMIN INVESTS IN SUSTAINABLE INGREDIENT TECHNOLOGY

摘要

The world's growing population is increasing demands on the food supply chain, while at the same time, consumers want improved nutrition and cleaner label ingredients. One of the larger challenges facing the industry today is how to meet the rising demand for protein without negatively impacting cost or quality.Recognizing these needs, Kemin Industries, Des Moines, Iowa, acquired Proteus Industries, Inc., in March 2021, adding sustainable clean label yield enhancement technology to the global Kemin Food Technologies portfolio of ingredient solutions.Proteus Industries was founded in 2001 in Gloucester, Mass., as a privately owned food technology and ingredient company that created, developed and patented novel clean label protein ingredients and applications to improve yield, nutrition and quality in a variety of meat and poultry and protein-based applications. Kemin has rebranded the ingredient technology as Proteus®, which is now available to Kemin customers in the U.S. to help commercial food processors improve retention of moisture and texture without reliance on artificial ingredients.
