Business overview

KaYama Foods develops physically structured fats as a functional and healthy replacement for traditional solid fats. The company utilizes a proprietary process and formulation to transform high-oleic oils into solid, stable fats that replicate the texture, mouthfeel, and behavior of animal-derived fats. This solution, marketed as Olearae Struct, enables food manufacturers to reduce saturated fat content by up to 90%, facilitating the removal of red-label nutritional warnings. The clean-label, E-free ingredient is composed entirely of natural components and is applicable across a wide range of food applications, including meat alternatives, bakery, chocolate, confectionery, and dairy. It also serves as an effective carrier for flavors and essential nutrients while delivering high oxidative stability for extended shelf life at room temperature. KaYama Foods operates in the Agriculture & Food Technologies sector, specifically within Food Tech and Novel Food & Ingredients, targeting the processed foods and ingredients markets.
