Scientific Testing for Shelf Life, Stability, and Product Quality

Kemin's Customer Laboratory Services (CLS) team uses technical expertise and problem-solving skills to identify the source of product challenges and develop tailored solutions. Whether you are formulating a new product or reformulating an existing one, CLS helps reduce testing time and supports your go-to-market objectives.

Oxidation Testing

Our scientists monitor oxidative stability under ambient and accelerated storage conditions, using analytical methods to track the progression of oxidation and evaluate its impact on key quality attributes, including flavour, aroma and colour.

  • Peroxide value
  • TBARS
  • Oxidative Stability Instrument (OSI)
  • Colour evaluation (Lab*)

Microbial Risk Assessment

CLS conducts microbial testing to help manufacturers evaluate spoilage risks and food protection strategies.

  • Non-inoculated studies
  • Challenge studies
  • Aerobic plate counts
  • Water activity analysis

Sensory Quality

Our in-house sensory laboratory evaluates how products perform throughout shelf life and helps assess the impact of formulation changes on consumer-perceived quality.

  • Hedonic testing
  • Triangle testing
  • Texture profile analysis
  • Appearance assessments

Ingredient Performance Optimisation

Our CLS team can help maximise ingredient efficiency by:

  • Identifying effective inclusion rates
  • Establishing optimal points of application
