Industries We Serve
Animal Nutrition & Health
Kemin’s enzyme solutions improve nutrient digestibility, enhance feed efficiency, and support consistent animal performance across diverse diets and raw material variability. Backed by global research and localized expertise, our enzymes help nutritionists optimize formulations while supporting economic and sustainability goals.
Aquaculture
Kemin’s aquafeed enzyme solutions help maximize nutrient availability, support animal health, and reduce waste allowing producers to get more from alternative raw materials without compromising performance.
Biofuels
Kemin’s enzymes for biofuels help break down complex substrates, increase fermentable sugar availability, and support consistent ethanol production. Designed to perform under demanding processing conditions, our enzymes help producers optimize output while improving overall process reliability.
Food
Tailored to your application needs, Kemin’s enzyme blends help support clean label goals, deliver shelf‑life extension, and enhance key attributes like texture, softness, and structure.
Textiles
KEMZYME® PRO advanced enzyme solutions support processes such as desizing, bio‑polishing, bleach clean-up, and denim finishing. These solutions enable performance and sustainability, helping mills reduce chemical use, water consumption, and environmental impact while achieving high-quality finishes.
How Enzymes Are Selected and Applied
Enzyme selection at Kemin starts with the application, not the product. The type of enzyme, its formulation, and how it is delivered are determined by the conditions it needs to perform in.
Key factors that shape enzyme selection include substrate type and composition, processing temperature and pH range, raw material variability by region or season, and the specific functional outcome required by the end user.
This is why Kemin maintains a broad enzyme portfolio, including phytases, carbohydrases, proteases, cellulases, catalases, lipases, and more, so the right enzyme or combination can be matched to the right process.
Enzyme Innovation Series
Applied Science, Regional Focus
Regional enzyme expertise is central to how Kemin develops and validates enzyme performance. The Enzyme Innovation Series extends that work by bringing together customers and technical teams to address region-specific formulation, processing, and raw material challenges. The 2026 series includes events across Latin America, South Asia, and Asia.
