“Our company is known for supplying superb natural herb, spice, vegetable, and hop ingredients to food and drink manufacturers,” said James Smith, managing director, Europe. “The new lab delivers benefits beyond those already offered by our products and supplies customers with scientific measures of changes in their food products over set periods of time. This means Kalsec can offer retailers scientific evidence to back up their claims about consistency, stability, and, most importantly, shelf life. These results will show the positive impact of Kalsec ingredients on flavor and aroma retention—and sustaining the color and appearance of products.”
This new laboratory offers Kalsec the capability to support meat suppliers and processors, fats and oils producers, and soup, sauce and dressings manufacturers with scientific evidence as well as insights into applications. The enhanced team of food scientists is equipped to duplicate a wide range of preparation techniques, including baking and confections, soups, sauces, dressings, marinades, snacks, pickled products, meat and poultry, seasonings, and beverages. New additions to the team include Paul Seymour, technical director, Henna Lu, lead antioxidant scientist, and Justyna Klusek, food applications scientist.
