Today’s consumers may be reaching for simpler, fresh, natural, or ‘free from’ products, but taste is still paramount. It’s more important than ever for snack manufacturers to meet a wide variety of demands.

One of the main culprits of loss of taste and flavor in snack foods is oxidation. Watch and see how Kemin can help extend shelf life and prevent lipid oxidation in snack foods like crackers, cookies, bars, and other high-fat content applications.
