Kemin EMEA introduces OLESSENCE™ P Dry, G Liquid to meet demand for clean-label food ingredients

ITALY – Kemin Industries has expanded its OLESSENCE™ portfolio with the launch of two new sustainable and natural product extensions, OLESSENCE™ P Dry and OLESSENCE™ G Liquid, for the meat, poultry and sauce industry.

The new introductions are designed to serve different market needs while complementing the company’s first-generation OLESSENCE™ B Liquid, which was launched last year for the bakery segment. 

With the addition of these innovations, food producers across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) now have access to a complete line of natural formulations that enhance flavor, freshness, and product quality.

OLESSENCE™ P Dry is a carefully crafted Mediterranean-inspired blend made from two plant-based ingredients. 

Targeted at the meat and poultry sector, it responds to growing consumer interest in foods influenced by the Mediterranean diet, known for its association with health and sustainability. 

Its formulation not only delivers freshness but also aligns with biodiversity goals and the rising demand for natural food preservation methods.

OLESSENCE™ G Liquid, on the other hand, offers versatility for a range of applications, including sauces, dips, and bakery products. 

This liquid blend of flavorings enhances sensory properties, while its active compounds help maintain color by slowing enzymatic browning. 

By protecting both taste and appearance, the ingredient contributes to better shelf life, product quality, and overall consumer satisfaction.

A defining feature across the OLESSENCE™ line is the integration of olive extract, a widely recognized and trusted ingredient among consumers. 

Beyond flavor, the natural extracts provide secondary antioxidant properties that help delay product degradation, supporting manufacturers in balancing innovation with sustainability.

Kemin emphasized that these launches are directly in line with consumer expectations for recognizable, transparent, and high-quality ingredients. 

As shoppers increasingly view quality as a holistic concept that includes health, traceability, and naturality, food producers are under pressure to reformulate using label-friendly solutions.

“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 that meet evolving consumer demands for transparency and sustainability.”

With OLESSENCE, Kemin is not only responding to immediate industry needs but also positioning itself at the forefront of the long-term shift toward natural, sustainable, and innovative ingredient solutions.
