Kemin Industries, a provider of shelf life extension and food safety solutions, has launched a new frying solution at Food Ingredients Europe called Forti-Fry.
The product is a combination of natural antioxidants which are said to improve the oxidative stability as well as the general performance of frying oils. The product prolongs the frying life of the oil, while decreasing the amount of foaming.
The number of pre-fried snack product launches in Europe, the Middle East and Africa are continuously increasing each year, with potato products as the number one category, followed by fried fish and seafood products.
Kemin said that manufacturers launching these new fried products will benefit from adding Forti-Fry into their frying oil ‘as it allows them to decrease cost, and at the same time, increase product quality’.
Stefaan Van Dyck, president of Kemin Europe Food Technologies, said: “Due to the powerful combination of natural antioxidants, specialty oils and innovative emulsifier system, Forti-Fry promotes heat transfer, resulting in an even browning of the fried food from the very first batch onward.”
Kemin has more than 2,500 employees and provides product solutions to customers in more than 120 countries. Earlier this year the company opened its worldwide headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa, following an investment of $30 million.
