Kemin Industries has taken a significant step forward by inaugurating its inaugural manufacturing facility in Verona, Missouri. This state-of-the-art plant is exclusively dedicated to the production of Proteus, a pioneering brand of clean-label functional proteins. These specialized proteins have been meticulously crafted to revolutionize the culinary world by enhancing the texture and moisture retention of meat and poultry products during the cooking process.
Proteus clean-label dry functional proteins boast the remarkable ability to elevate mouthfeel, texture, and juiciness, all while expanding the protein structure and revealing the innate water- or protein-binding sites present in the meat and poultry. This groundbreaking innovation offers a sustainable alternative to the conventional use of high levels of salt or chemical additives, such as phosphates, in food processing. Proteus stands as a beacon of clean-label excellence, promising heightened cooking yields while significantly reducing sodium contributions in meat, poultry, and protein-based applications.
The Verona facility is a monumental leap forward, with its initial production capacity capable of treating a staggering one billion pounds of meat, poultry, and various protein-based products. Kemin Industries is dedicated to offering sustainably sourced and technologically advanced solutions to meat and poultry manufacturers, thereby positively impacting the quality and integrity of the global food supply chain.
